Prestolite Wire Brand of battery cable products are used in a variety of vehicles

including cars, trucks, buses, marine, tractors and off-road vehicles and industrial equipment.

Prestolite Wire Brand 125°C and150°C Battery Cables are designed to the SAE J1127 specification,

manufactured in the U.S.A., and are the superior choice for various battery cable applications.

Thermoset materials (EPDM and XLPE) deliver superior performance and surpass thermoplastic (PUR, PVC)

compounds in flexibility, temperature performance, flame, durability and more. Thermoset battery cables will not

soften or distort from their formed shape when exposed to excessive heat or open flame. Thermoplastics (PVC) will

deform under high temperatures, resulting in degradation of their physical attributes. Not only does Prestolite Wire’s

EPDM rubber and XLPE exhibit excellent heat-resistant characteristics, they offer many other advantages as well, such

as superior abrasion and fluid resistance.
