The AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire and Battery Cable Clips Onto Your Battery With Alligator Clamps and Leaves a Bare End for the Connection You Need
The AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire and Battery Cable is a 20 foot red and black 10 AWG cable with alligator clamps on one end and bare wire on the other. AIMS rates it at 600V and 105°C (221°F) and lists it as CSA/ETL certified.
It's made for solar systems and power inverters, and AIMS lists it for use with charge controllers up to 40 amps. It suits anyone who wants a quick clamp-on battery connection without fixed terminals.
AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire and Battery Cable Features
Alligator Clamps for a Quick, Secure Hookup
The red and black alligator clamps grip the battery terminals for a secure connection, and they come off just as easily when you're done.
Bare End Leaves Your Options Open
AIMS leaves one end bare so you can add a different cable end if your equipment needs one, or connect the bare wire straight to a terminal that accepts it.
20 Feet of Reach
The 20 foot length gives you room to place a charge controller or other equipment away from the battery.
Real-World Applications
Portable solar charging. Clamp onto a battery and run the bare end to a solar charge controller rated up to 40 amps. AIMS's photo shows this setup with a folding solar panel feeding the controller.
Power inverters. AIMS lists the cable as suited to power inverters as well as solar systems.
Temporary setups. The clamps make it simple to connect and disconnect a battery when your setup moves from place to place.
Practical Comparison
Alligator Clamps Versus Ring Lug Terminals
Ring lugs bolt down to a terminal for a permanent connection. Alligator clamps clip on and off without tools, which suits portable and temporary setups where you move the battery or equipment often.
