Ancor 2 AWG Tinned Copper Battery Cable Assembly — 18", Red
A short, high-current positive battery cable built for tight installations where space is limited but performance can’t be compromised. This 18-inch red cable is factory-assembled with UL 1426-rated tinned copper wire and tinned copper lugs — crimped, heat-shrink sealed, and ready to drop in without any additional tools or prep.
At 2 AWG, this cable is sized for serious current loads — starter circuits, large inverters, bow thrusters, and high-output charging systems where voltage drop and connection integrity matter. Both lug ends are sealed with Ancor’s adhesive-lined 3:1 heat shrink tubing, blocking moisture and corrosion at the termination point where failures most often begin.
Compatible Applications
- Positive battery terminal connections
- Battery-to-battery positive links in parallel bank configurations
- Battery-to-bus bar positive runs in compact installations
- Inverter and charger positive leads (short runs)
- Starter motor positive connections on smaller engines
- Bow thruster and windlass positive feeds where components are closely mounted
Key Features
- UL 1426-rated tinned copper wire — flame retardant and UV inhibited
- Rated to 600V and 105°C for reliable performance in engine compartments
- Tinned copper lugs resist corrosion at connection points
- Adhesive-lined 3:1 heat shrink at both ends seals out moisture
- Factory-assembled — ready to install, no crimping required
- 2 AWG / 18 inches / Red (positive)

Parts Desk Insights
The 18-inch red is the positive companion to the 2 AWG 18" black (189140) — always buy them as a matched pair for a complete, code-compliant installation. This length is ideal when your battery and connection point are mounted close together: battery switch connections, parallel bank links, or inverter terminals where a longer cable would just create slack to manage. The 2 AWG gauge handles significantly more current than 4 AWG, making it the right choice for high-draw loads like large inverters, bow thrusters, and high-output alternators. If 18 inches falls short, the 32" red (189145) is the next step up, and the 48" red (189147) covers longer runs across a battery compartment.
