The AIMS Power 6 AWG Charge Controller to Battery Cable Set Gives You 8 Feet of 117 Amp Cable With a Lug on One End and a Bare End on the Other

The AIMS Power 6 AWG Charge Controller to Battery Cable Set is a pair of 8 foot #6 AWG cables, one red and one black. Each cable has a 3/8 inch lug on one end and a bare end on the other. AIMS rates the cable at 600V and up to 117 amps, with a 221°F temperature rating.

It's made for wiring a solar charge controller to a battery, and AIMS also describes it for smaller inverter systems and battery setups.

AIMS Power 6 AWG Charge Controller to Battery Cable Set Features

Lug to Bare End Design

One end of each cable is precision cut and professionally crimped to a 3/8 inch lug, and the other end is left bare. You get a ready lug for one connection and a bare wire end for the other.

117 Amp, 600V Rating

AIMS lists a maximum current of 117 A, a 600V rating and a 221°F temperature rating for this #6 AWG cable, which gives you clear numbers to check against your charge controller and battery.

Flexible Cable With a Tough Jacket

The cable is extra flexible and RT4 rated, with an outer diameter of 0.338 inches. Its flame retardant polyvinyl chloride jacket resists moisture, abrasion, acid, diesel fuel and oil.

Real-World Applications

Solar charge controller to battery. Run the red and black cables between a solar charge controller and its battery bank.

Smaller inverter and battery systems. AIMS also describes the cable for smaller inverter systems, batteries and control systems.

Practical Comparison

Lug to Bare End Versus Lugged on Both Ends

A cable lugged on both ends only works where both terminals take a lug. This set leaves one end bare, so you can connect it to a terminal that clamps bare wire, or add the end you need.

Buyer Guidance

Check Your Controller and Battery Terminals

Confirm that one of your terminals takes a 3/8 inch lug and the other accepts bare #6 AWG wire, and check your charge controller's manual for the wire gauge and fuse size it calls for. Each cable is 8 feet long, so measure your route first.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You're wiring a charge controller to a battery
• Your run is 8 feet or less
• One terminal takes a 3/8 inch lug
