Review on Allstar ALL76153 Plastic Disconnect Protective by Eric Ross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

1/0 AWG and 4 AWG together in one sleeve

Used this on my Moroso 74101 battery disconnect I have a 1/0 AWG (battery positive) wire connected a clamp and 4 AWG (generator) and on the other terminal a 4 AWG (starter) and 8 AWG for a common electrical wire. I've been looking for a long time for something that could hold the 1/0 and 4 AWG wires together on the same connector. After not finding anything that was "designed" for this size, I decided to just give it a try. Well it worked! While a little far fetched, it does exactly what I wanted it to do. As you can see in the picture, the 1/0 and 4 AWG wires have separate shrink tubing and fit together in one jacket. I didn't trim the shrink portion at the end of the boot because I feel the material might tear. It feels pretty exhausted. The time will show. But if that doesn't work, my plan B is giant shrink tubing.

Pros
  • They protect the terminals on the battery disconnect switches from accidental shorting
Cons
  • Out of fashion
