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)

For those who are afraid of CCA, this will work fine. You will only use it for 3-5 seconds probably once every 3 years. The clamp will probably have more resistance than the cable.

Let's be honest. If someone pulled these out to give you a jump, would you say "That's CCA. I'll pass and wait it out"? This is a good deal at the price point. Buy them and throw them in your trunk. Heck, buy a set for every car in your household at this price.

Quote from Tumbleweed7200 :
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
Interesting. Most of the packs say they're rated up to x.x liter gas and x.x liter diesel. You'd think if it could jump a diesel which, at least on 2500/3500s have dual batteries, it would have enough juice to jump 2 smaller batteries. Random stuff like this prevents me from buying a jump pack that I'd use on myself when one of my batteries starts to go bad (every 3ish years the starter battery seems to die). If I was smart I'd just jump myself off the secondary battery. Problem for me is all the stuff I have hooked to my 2nd battery.

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).
Agreed.
Many years ago I invested in a 20' set of 2 gage copper jumper cables, and they work today just as well as they ever did. Well worth the investment for me. They were on clearance at Walmart for a very modest discount. No doubt they were being replaced by aluminum type that carried a higher profit margin.
I've used the aluminum type and they usually work okay. I won't buy any for myself, but maybe for someone unlikely to use them more than a time or 2? You can usually let the vehicle run a little longer if the dead battery isn't completely ruined, but they often won't carry the current for a proper jump.
The primary wire I used to wire some stuff on my van that turned out to be aluminum was waaaaay too much trouble. I've had to replace it with real copper wire.
The last retail store I saw with real copper jumper cables was Northern Tool. You can also make your own with welding cable.

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 definitely prefer my lithium battery jumper pack but for $10 I'll throw these in as a backup.

Can't believe the debate over pure copper or CCA on these Walmart cables.

Come on people, it's a ten dollar set of jumper cables from Walmart.

Of course it isn't 20 feet of 4 gauge pure copper.

4 gauge copper is about 2 bucks a foot. And you would need two runs of 20.

Doing the rough math, 2 bucks times 40 = $80. And that's just for the raw copper without clamps.

Tractor Supply sells 100% pure copper jumper cables made from welding wire and parrot clamps. But they are about $200 for a 20 foot set.

Napa Auto Parts also sells them, but they are like $300 for the set.

You can still buy pure copper, but super expensive. But people like tow truck drivers, etc. that need something that can jump cars all day long, every day, and never fail will buy them. Also, someone like a tow truck driver can write it off as a business expense.

You can also browse eBay, Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, garage sales, etc. And buy old "used" cables. Look at the cut cross section profile of the individual wires, you can then tell if it is 100% copper or if it is CCA. If you see copper all the way across the cross section, or if you see the aluminum color core and copper color plating.

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

I see nothing that says they are CCA.
There's not a snowball's chance in hell that these are copper. Not for forty bucks, not for ten. And I wouldn't put much stock in something just because it was labeled UL listed. The package might claim that, and UL listing used to carry weight, but I've seen some questionable stuff with that label on it.

I bought a couple of these. I will cut the clamps off of one set and use it as a carrier wire to my 2000W inverter. The clamps will likely get repurposed later down the road.

At 25¢ per foot, this is the best deal on 20 foot runs of 4 gauge. Being AL and not CU, it might not carry 80A but it's fine for things like inverters, DIY battery banks, or ceiling mount heaters, etc.

Thanks!

Well, maybe order one up and cut them and see what's what!

There is no info on what kind of material they are.

Or: U could buy this just for the clamps and then build your own jumpers from decent welding cable.

If you want to splurge on welding cables, you might as well get clamps made of real copper for a bit more money: https://www.amazon.com/Spartan-Po...B08843STJ1

When I wanted cables for my used trolling motor I used a cheap pair of 16 foot jumper cables with the clamps cut off one end. Work great!

The thing about battery packs is that lithium batteries degrade with temps >108f and they degrade when fully charged. Storing a battery pack in your car most likely has it at 100% charge and the temps in a car can reach 140f. There is a risk of the battery exploding.
