I cleaned out the local Lidly today, it might be past the special offer but these jump leads are a mega bargain. It's the second time I've filled the trolley with 'em. They're advertised on the packet as 25mm² but they're closer to 35mm² judging by the closest sized lug they fit into. That's a market value ~€50 of fine…

That's a market value ~€50 of fine stranded copper cable, perfect for split charging [if you get a serious contactor eg. Albright SW80] for the low, low price of €13! :eek:

I've pulled 100A off a Merc Sprinter using that cable. If you've never measured it or it's a factory setup then you're probably getting about 15A on 2.5mm².
Recommended upgrade!

I've superceeded Steling "120A" battery to battery charger performance with it and lower alternator temperatures while I was at it....Yurp, €13 of cable's better than £600 boxes wired on €13 of cable!...
