The AIMS Power 4/0 AWG Inverter Cable Set Carries Up to 445 Amps Between Your Battery Bank and a 12 Volt Inverter Up to 5000 Watts
The AIMS Power 4/0 AWG Inverter Cable Set is a pair of heavy duty 4/0 AWG cables, one red and one black, lugged on both ends with 5/8 inch lugs. AIMS rates the cable at 600V and up to 445 amps, with a 105°C temperature rating and an extra flexible conductor of soft drawn bare copper.
It's built for battery banks and inverter systems, and AIMS matches it to 12 volt inverters of 5000 watts or smaller. You can choose from 14 lengths, from 1 foot to 100 feet, so you can match the set to your layout.
AIMS Power 4/0 AWG Inverter Cable Set Features
445 Amp Rating for Large 12 Volt Systems
AIMS lists a maximum current of 445 A, a 600V rating and a 105°C temperature rating for this 4/0 AWG cable. AIMS matches it to 12 volt inverters of 5000 watts or smaller, where battery current runs high.
Lugged and Crimped at the Factory
Each cable is precision cut and professionally crimped, with 5/8 inch lugs on both ends. Cross linked polyolefin heat shrink covers each crimp. You skip the cutting, stripping and crimping that heavy cable usually takes.
Flame Retardant Jacket That Resists Harsh Conditions
The jacket is a flame retardant polyvinyl chloride compound (VW-1) that resists moisture, abrasion, acid, diesel fuel and oil, so it holds up in demanding installs.
Extra Flexible Copper Conductor
The conductor is extra flexible soft drawn bare copper made to ASTM B172, and the cable is RT4 rated for flexibility. That makes a heavy 4/0 cable easier to route through tight or complex spaces.
Red and Black for Clear Polarity
Each set includes one red cable and one black cable, so positive and negative runs are easy to identify during the install and later service.
Real-World Applications
Large 12 volt inverters. Connect a 12V battery bank to an inverter of 5000 watts or smaller, the size AIMS matches this cable to.
Battery and charger wiring. AIMS lists uses as battery cable, battery charger cable, motor lead and power hookup cable.
Panels and controls. AIMS also lists it as suitable for transformers, switchboard panels, controls, electronic circuits and meters.
Practical Comparison
4/0 AWG Set Versus a Lighter Gauge Cable
A lighter gauge cable is thinner and easier to bend, but it carries less current. The 4/0 AWG set is sized for 12 volt inverters up to 5000 watts, where a lighter cable may not keep up with the current.
Pre-Lugged Set Versus Building Your Own Cables
Making 4/0 cables yourself takes bulk cable, lugs, heat shrink and a heavy crimping tool. This set arrives cut to length with the lugs crimped and covered, ready to install.
Buyer Guidance
Match the Cable to Your Inverter
AIMS matches this set to 12 volt inverters of 5000 watts or smaller. Check your inverter's manual for the cable gauge and fuse size it calls for, and confirm its DC terminals take a 5/8 inch lug.
Pick Your Length
Measure the route between the battery terminals and the inverter's DC terminals before you order, and allow for bends. Each set has one red and one black cable in the length you choose.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You run a 12V inverter up to 5000 watts
- Your terminals take a 5/8 inch lug
- You want lugs already crimped on both ends
- You need a matched red and black pair
