As someone who has made OEM cables, let me give you a big warning about this product. CCA is brittle and tends to break over time with bending. CCA is also has about half the current capability of copper. We did a lot of testing about 15 years ago on CCA and it is not a good choice for high current applications- like battery power. There is a reason automakers aren't using it for high current applications, and we all know they want to save money.

Good deal for $10, but according to reviews they are more like 6ga and they are CCA (copper coated aluminum)

Semantics aside you can either buy one set of OFC jumper cables at $60 or buy 6 sets at the same price and have one for every vehicle you own.

Store them in a dry area and they'll last till that one time you need them.

If you use your jumper cables a lot or for work I'd recommend getting at minimum a 2ga set with OFC.
Once you exceed the amp rating of any wire type it'll get hot and melt the sheathing then eventually catch on fire.

Cheaper/smaller gauge cables just require you to be attentive because if there's significant current draw they will burn.

Well, they are UL listed so I doubt they are out of spec.

I see nothing that says they are CCA.
UL listed products should have a certified number beginning with E on them. Is there one on the box?

I've never had a problem with CCA cables that were at least this thick of gauge. Maybe if you're jump starting diesel engines frequently you may run into an issue.

I have some off brand amazon 4-guage cables that have worked fine the last 7 years . The ones in this deal are likely at least as good.
CCA carries about half the current of copper so they will obviously work if the battery is just low. The higher the current the higher the risk. An even bigger risk is the aluminum. Bend a copper wire a few dozen times and then do the same with aluminum. You will quickly see why CCA is a terrible choice for high current situations without even needing to see their poor conductivity testing.

I doubt most people are attentive or examine their cables before using them. Don't forget if you use CCA you get more heat and about half the current capability.

If you own a Truck, SUV, or a car with a large engine, I highly suggest you invest in some thicker cables. Will work mich faster and a lot more reliable starts.

Where can you get non CCA jumper cables?
I purchased these sometime back but havent used them yet. They say pure copper and they weigh almost 10lbs.

AL is about 75% of copper not half.

Better to carry a jumper battery pack than actually having to jump someone with cables lol.

I've actually used my jumper pack a few times. Once on myself but a couple times on my mowers and
4 wheelers.
I have a jumper battery pack but it doesn work on my SUV. Is there a larger capacity jumper battery pack available? The same one I have works in my sedan but couldn't jump my SUV when needed.

Yes, just go to amazon and search "SUV jump starter" and it will list a bunch with "up to" what engine size it will jump. See what you need and check reviews.

NOCO is a brand I see a lot but I don't own one.

I've read a lot of jumper packs don't work well with vehicles equipped with ESS (Engine start stop) due to there being two 12v batteries and the jumper pack doesn't supply enough juice for a long enough duration to power them both. I've had several 6.0l+ capable jumper battery packs that have worked on many large vehicles but i could never get it to work on my JL wrangler with ESS so i always carry around a set of jumper cables just incase as you need to leave them connected for several minutes before theres enough juice for it to start

I agree with your statement, but how do you know these are CCA? I couldn't find anything on the site that identified the material. Is it one of those things where if they don't say copper it's definitely not solid copper?

If you are saying aluminum has 75% the conductivity of copper then you are wrong. First, you need to define which alloy type of aluminum you are referring to. That makes a big difference. Secondly, in manufacturing product you are limited to the quality control of the AL and every other source. I have been making cable in China for decades and I can promise you that it is quite hard to get exactly what your design proposes. Oxygen free copper is much easier to obtain and produce. Between manufacturing tolerances and product variances the end result for CCA always tested under 60% of pure copper. Even more importantly is more brittle and a poor choice for a product that will be stressed with repeated bends over time. This is why we get paid to test and source. There are always companies that choose to make false claims, my job is to make sure the companies I sell to aren't in that group.

I have made cable in China for decades but I have zero first hand experience with this product. There is a review online that makes this claim and where these comments are coming from.

I would assume that any jumper cables are CCA unless specified otherwise. But that isn't necessarily a deal breaker as millions of people are using CCA cables to successfully jump their vehicles.

At 20ft of 4-gauge CCA, these should be fine for most cars with a low, not completely dead, battery. If someone needs more current for their particular application, then they can either spend the bucks for pure copper, get a larger gauge cable, or use a shorter length (a 10' cable has half the resistance of a 20' one).
