What is the purpose of the 24″ cable and where do I purchase one?
The 24 inch (61 cm) long 6 gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable referred to in the owner’s manual is for safety purposes. Since the last connection you make to the battery is at the free end of the cable, as far away from the battery as possible, any arcing or sparking will occur away from the explosive gases generated by the battery. As an additional precaution, we also tell you not to face the battery when making this final connection. This cable is a standard battery cable and can be purchased from any auto parts store.
