Get all of the Marine Battery Cable specs here. Most of the SGT we sell also carry a marine rating (BC-2 rating) Do not build a cable intended for marine use out of wire that does not have a marine rating. The marine rating is a Coast Guard legal requirement for marine applications. It also has a requirement that it must be “self-extinguishing”. It’s usually rated for higher temperatures and “wet” (think submerged) applications. There are several types of “Marine” wire. Often it has a higher strand count. If you need a higher temp rating, it’s a good choice. The trade-off is the insulation is thicker and stiffer. SGX uses a high-grade XLP (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation which has a higher temperature rating and is more abrasion-resistant. It usually has a fairly low strand count (meaning the strands are larger), making the wire stiff enough to stay where you put it but is still flexible enough to bend around tight corners. It’s typically rated for 85 or 105 degrees C. SGT is a thermoplastic PVC (polyvinyl chloride) insulation rated at 50 volts. THHN stands for “ Thermoplastic High Heat-resistant Nylon-coated). For example ‘THHN” is probably what you have for the wiring in your house. (Wire is rated by several characteristics but most commonly its insulation type. We generally use SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) SGT battery cable. What Gauge Battery Wire Should You Use?
