Westward 8 AWG 12 ft Booster Cable
This 12 ft booster cable uses 8 AWG conductors rated for 250 A. Spring clamp grips provide a secure crimped connection. The black and orange jacket aids visibility during roadside use. It is designed for light duty jump starting tasks.
Replaces thinner or shorter leads
Thicker gauge reduces voltage drop compared with lighter cables. The 12 ft length reaches between vehicles parked nose to nose or side by side. Upgrade when existing cables are too short or cannot deliver sufficient cranking current.
250 A capacity for typical petrol engines
Comfortably handles jump starting of standard passenger cars and light trucks. Light duty rating means it is not suited for heavy commercial diesel engines or repeated high current draws. Cable insulation remains flexible in cold conditions.

Questions about this item
What length and gauge are the booster cables?
The cables are 12 ft long and use 8 AWG wire gauge for the connection.
How do the spring clamp jaws attach to battery terminals?
Squeeze each spring clamp to open the jaws, place them firmly on the clean battery posts, then release so the spring tension holds them securely.
When should the cables be replaced due to wear or damage?
Replace them if the black or orange jacket shows cracking, the crimped connections loosen, or the spring clamps no longer grip the terminals tightly.
