Pacer Black 1 AWG Battery Cable - Sold By The Foot

The Pacer Black 1 AWG Battery Cable, sold by the foot, is the marine-grade solution serious boaters and anglers depend on for reliable electrical connections between battery banks, engine starters, and auxiliary power systems. Whether you're wiring a new console setup, replacing corroded cables after years on the water, or upgrading to a dual-battery configuration for extended trips, this heavy-gauge cable delivers the amperage capacity and durability required in harsh saltwater and freshwater environments. One AWG (American Wire Gauge) thickness ensures minimal voltage drop over moderate distances while staying flexible enough for tight engine compartments and console routing.

Constructed with Pacer Group's proven marine-specification insulation, the black outer jacket resists UV degradation, oil, and saltwater corrosion—critical for cables exposed to bilge spray and direct sunlight. The 1 AWG copper conductor delivers industry-leading conductivity, reducing resistive heat loss that can drain battery capacity or slow engine cranking in cold-weather conditions. The sold-by-the-foot pricing model means you purchase only the length you need, eliminating waste and allowing precise customization for your vessel's electrical layout, whether running power from transom-mount trolling motors, auxiliary battery boxes, or shore-power charging systems.

This cable suits freshwater lake anglers, saltwater commercial operators, and recreational boaters upgrading electrical systems on bass boats, center consoles, and cabin cruisers alike. Terminal connections require standard marine-grade lug ends (sold separately), which should be soldered or crimped per ABYC standards to maintain safety and performance. Measure your run carefully before ordering, accounting for routing around engine blocks and through bulkheads; most experienced boat electricians recommend adding 10–15% extra length to avoid tight bends that reduce current capacity. Pair this cable with quality corrosion-resistant terminals and marine fuses for a professional, code-compliant installation.
