Battery Cable EPDM 150˚C Suitable for Ground, Starter and Power Applications General Cable’s Prestolite Wire Brand of battery cable products is used in a variety of vehicles including cars, trucks, buses, marine, tractors and off-road vehicles and industrial equipment. Prestolite Wire Brand EPDM 150°C Battery Cable is designed to the SAE J1127 specification, manufactured in the U.S.A., and is the superior choice for various battery cable applications. Thermoset rubber (EPDM) delivers superior performance and surpasses thermoplastic (PUR, PVC) compounds in flexibility, temperature performance, flame, durability and more. EPDM battery cables will not soften or distort from their formed shape when exposed to excessive heat or open flame. Thermoplastics (PVC) will deform under high temperatures, resulting in degradation of their physical attributes. Not only does EPDM rubber exhibit excellent heatresistant characteristics, Prestolite Wire Brand’s 150°C-rated EPDM offers many other advantages as well. It provides 3,000 hour @ 150°C long-term heat aging capability but also can survive overload conditions due to being a thermoset material. The product exceeds the -40˚C cold bend requirements and can deliver low temperature performance to get the job done.
