Lets talk jumper cables

[arntufun]

I would like to find out some info about jumper cables. minimal wire size and minimal amps needed. I want to get the smallest size I can find so not to take up alot of room.

Will these work ??? http://www.ebay.com/itm/190630937329?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Looks REAL similar to what I have and ther work great and are small. Been used more than I would like to jump the RT after getting gas!

That'll work, Just one question how long are they, Spyder to Spyder they look long enough, But Spyder to Car or Truck.:dontknow:

I have been happy with these. Pack away very neatly and easy on space in Spyder. Have not had to use them yet though.http://www.amazon.com/Kwik-Tek-JC-8...TYSP/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1327617151&sr=8-2

I would be leary that the 50 amp rating might be a way around giving the wire gauge (which is a much better way to gauge a jumper cable). I'd also want to know length and what material the wire was made of, Copper, Aluminum, Steel?

Shorter cable can get away with a smaller gauge wire to a point.

On the other hand, the other approach is to just get them and don't worry about it! hyea:

I don't think that there's any question that they'll work... Now, as to how long they'll last or how "tough" they are? :dontknow:
But I'd give them a try! :thumbup:
