Booster Cables ?
I have looked everywhere for the perfect cables for my car.
I found these and there just right, they have the features that I like ,but they are rated at 250 amp . Is that OK for a battery rated at 630 amp and cold is 525amps ?
Hears a link showing them = http://www.sears.com/diehard-250a-bo...p-02807322000P
They are made in the USA.

Re: Booster Cables ?
They would be fine. You don't necessarily need cables rated to the same amperage as your battery. My portable charger/jump starter is only rated to 75A on jump starting, and my battery is rated at 875CCA.

Re: Booster Cables ?
I recommend a jump box of some sort, because even if you have cables you have to find someone that will jump you. Granted, they are more expensive than cables but you'll be glad you did. Mine has an air compressor that i use a lot.
