This cable was quite unexpected. It was a lot thicker than expected for the price being almost an 8 or 10 gauge wire. The connectors are well made on each end and it even comes with a gender switcher in case your charger has a different polarity. It also has rubber plugs that fit snugly on each end when not in use to keep connections in good condition. I use it with a battery tender for my car and it works great. Leave the plug in the garage and the other end goes under the hood straight to the battery as I have a permanent connection to the outlet on the battery. NO worries in the rain. Great product and delivered on time and as described.
