This 18-inch black cable is factory-assembled with UL 1426-rated tinned copper wire and tinned copper lugs — crimped, sealed, and ready to install without any additional tools or prep work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 2 AWG, this cable handles high-current loads with minimal voltage drop, making it well-suited for starter circuits, inverter connections, and battery bank wiring where a short, reliable negative run is needed. Both lug ends are sealed with Ancor’s adhesive-lined 3:1 heat shrink tubing, locking out moisture and corrosion at the termination — the most vulnerable point in any battery cable installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNegative battery terminal to engine block ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery-to-battery negative connections in parallel bank configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery-to-bus bar negative runs in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInverter and charger negative leads (short runs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarter motor ground connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact marine DC power systems with closely mounted components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL 1426-rated tinned copper wire — flame retardant and UV inhibited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 600V and 105°C for reliable performance in engine compartments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTinned copper lugs resist corrosion at connection points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdhesive-lined 3:1 heat shrink at both ends seals out moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-assembled — ready to install, no crimping required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 AWG \/ 18 inches \/ Black (negative)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAlso Available In\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ancor-189141-marine-grade-tinned-copper-battery-cable-assembly-2-awg-18-red-639-189141\"\u003eAncor 2 AWG, 18\", Red (189141)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ancor-189144-marine-grade-tinned-copper-battery-cable-assembly-2-awg-32-black-639-189144\"\u003eAncor 2 AWG, 32\", Black (189144)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ancor-189145-marine-grade-tinned-copper-battery-cable-assembly-2-awg-32-red-639-189145\"\u003eAncor 2 AWG, 32\", Red (189145)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ancor-189146-marine-grade-tinned-copper-battery-cable-assembly-2-awg-48-black-639-189146\"\u003eAncor 2 AWG, 48\", Black (189146)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ancor-189147-marine-grade-tinned-copper-battery-cable-assembly-2-awg-48-red-639-189147\"\u003eAncor 2 AWG, 48\", Red (189147)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ancor-tinned-copper-battery-cable-assembly-4-awg-48-red-189137\"\u003eAncor 4 AWG, 48\", Red (189137)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 18-inch length makes this the right pick when your battery and connection point are close together — think engine block grounds, battery switch connections, or parallel bank links where components are mounted side by side.
