What are some of the different types of battery cable?
Battery cable is large automotive cable. Like smaller types of automotive wire, it is available in PVC and cross-linked forms. One type of PVC battery cable is SGT cable. It is rated to 80°C. SGT can be used in starters or battery grounds. Cross-linked battery cables can also be used in starter and battery ground applications, but they are more resistant to heat, abrasion, and aging than PVC cable. Two types of cross-linked battery cable are SGX and STX. They are rated to 125°C. Of the three types of battery cable, STX has the thinnest wall, making it a popular choice for automotive applications with limited space.
