Are you looking for a hard-to-find cable? Don't want to pay a couple hundred bucks for a flimsy cable from the dealer?  Tired of poor quality auto store cables?  Wouldn't it be nice if that big block V8 or diesel in your favorite car, truck, boat or RV cranked over a little easier?  Do you want the best?  Well, you've come to the right place! 

Welcome to CustomBatteryCables.com!  I think we build the best aftermarket cables available.  I started building battery cables for heavy equipment and my own trucks over 20 years ago.  During that time I can't recall ever having to replace a cable due to corrosion or over heating.  Why?  I build 'em better.  I use better components and construction. See how I build them and how they compare to the store bought cables.

Please take a few minutes to check out my customer's cars (I have not had time to add to this lately, but keep sending me pictures), what they have to say and, of course, order cables for your own car or truck.  

What's New:

10/29/08 -
1) I fixed a bug in the custom order page and added some error checking so customer can't order a cable if the form is filled out wrong. Thank you to the customers who pointed it out.
2) We discontinued free shipping for orders over $150.  Due to increasing costs I found I had to do something to improve the bottom line and this was a way to do it without having to raise prices. Shipping prices are still very fair at $12 for USPS priority mail flat rate box.
3) Current wait time from order to ship is about 3 weeks.  I hope to get that down to 1 week in December.

10/18/2008 - I'm starting a new day job and I will have less time to devote to cables. Please be patient.

9/30/2008 - I have been having significant problems bring up the "new and improved" custom order page. Therefore, I put the old page back up with updated prices.  See Custom Order Page

7/27/2008 - The Dodge Ram and F350 cable pages are back online with updated prices. 

7/23/2008 - Broken Email:  My internet service provider implemented a new spam filter which quarantined over 100 customer emails (I was wondering why I wasn't getting any email).  Now I'm over 100 emails behind and have some upset customers.  It will probably take several days to sort thru the old emails and send replies.

7/12/2008 - We took a week off to attend my wife's family reunion in Menard, Texas but now we're back to work and all paid cable orders will be shipped this weekend.  

6/15/2008 -   Unfortunately, I need to raise prices or go out of business. With the high price of copper and fuel I can not continue to sell cables at the price I was asking.  I am in the process of  review and raising prices where needed.  I am changing the most popular sets first.

4/15/2008 - Now that the taxes are complete and paid, we will be accepting orders very soon.  Unfortunately the effect of doing taxes has made it clear that I need to raise prices in order to stay in business.  We will began accepting orders but our prices WILL be going up.  The on-line ordering web pages will go up as I make edits to the prices. 

3/15/2008 - This weekend we completed and shipped all paid orders.  We will remain closed for 3 to 4 more weeks. 

2/20/2008 - We are closed for a few weekends to take care of some personal business and to enjoy spring time in Arizona. We will reopen in a few weeks. We will fill all existing orders and we will continue to sell parts and some cables that we have pre-made but we will not be doing any custom work. Emails and phone calls may not be answered.  Some web pages have been taken down or disabled to prevent people from ordering.

2/14/2008 - We will be closing for a couple weeks for spring break.  During that time we will continue to sell parts and some premade sets but custom orders will be shut down.  We will shut down on 2/20.  We will fill any orders we get by that date. I had marine wire as an option for the custom order page but I have decided to remove it until I get a better source for the wire.

1/12/2008 - I am in the process of updating our prices..  I'm changing them to more accurately reflect our actual costs.  I expect large complicated cables to go up slightly (the Ford F350 set went up about $10) however smaller cables might go down in price.  It will take a few weeks to complete the changes.

1/5/2008 - Happy New Year!   I am making some changes to the web site.  I'm adding a series of pages with automotive and battery tips and tricks.  The new pages will feature subjects such as: safety tips, how to test and install a battery, how to tell if you need new cables and other stuff like that. We welcome submissions. If you want to share your tips, you are welcome to submit a document and we will post it to our website. You may also include your contact information. As always, we reserve the right to reject any submission.

Some darn SPAMmer forged a custombatterycables.com email address, the result was a flood of "email undeliverable" error messages in our inbox.  We did not, nor will we ever, send unsolicited email.  People get way too much of this junk and it's worse than irritating, it wastes time, money and energy. 

12/19/2007 - I added the Jeep Wrangler page.  Many thanks to the customer who took the measurements and pictures.

12/16/2007 - Orders have slowed down after the Thanksgiving weekend rush.  We're back to running about a 2 week or less delivery time.

12/08/2007 - This is the busiest week have ever had.  Thank you for the opportunities!

12/01/2007 - We have begun stocking small amounts of SGX cable in addition to the SGT wire.  SGX has a stiffer jacket and a higher temp rating.  It's about 30% more expensive but it's an option for those who need the higher temp rating.  I also found a local source for Marine SGT.  Generally, it will be special order however we will stock small amounts of it.

I added thick wall adhesive lined heat shrink, premium wire ties and convoluted split loom. Check out the heat_shrink_ties_loom page.

Current delivery time is about 3 weeks

11/10/2005 - I decided to stop taking credit cards by phone.  We didn't have enough credit cards sales to justify all the fees,  Sorry for the inconvenience.  I'm checking into alternatives. You can still pay with a credit card by using PayPal.

11/05/2007 - We're back to work after taking some time off for health reasons and due to a hard drive failure.

8/11/2007 - We will not be accepting custom orders during the 6 weeks from middle of August to the end of September.  We will be selling parts and some pre-assembled cables but not any custom orders.

6/1/2007 - I added functionality to some of the web pages.  We've also begun stocking some of our cables so they are on the shelf ready to be shipped.

5/26/2007 - I have a new online ordering page which allows users to define and order one of a kind cables online.  It's not pretty but it's functional.  Please use it to order cables if possible.  See custom online order form  

I continue to have PC problems and problems with the web site.  It may take some time to undo the damage caused by the "free" software I downloaded to do the web site design.

I apologize to those of you that have emailed me 3 or 4 times.  You will be getting an email in the next few days with a link to a page that offers a 15% discount to thank you for your patience. 

2/25/2007 - Current lead time for cables is running at about 10 days.  Paid order have priority over answering emails so I'm still behind on emails but the situation is improving.

2/14/2007 - My daughter Lindsay gave birth to a baby girl, Stephanie Hope on 2/13.  We've been very busy around here and I'm about 2 weeks behind in answering emails.  Paid orders have priority and will be done before the dozens of emails I get every week.  Please be patient.  I plan to catch up this weekend.

2/11/2007 - I added the Wire, Battery Terminals and Lugs page for the guys who just want to buy parts.

1/19/2007 - I've added some new pictures of Jeep battery cables and booster (jumper cables) sets. Due to various computer, career and health issues, we got way behind in answering emails.  Instead of trying to go back and answer hundreds of old emails, I've decided to just answer the current ones.  If you emailed us in November or December of 2006 and didn't get an answer please email us again.  I will answer all new emails received after within one week.

11/20/2006 - I'm back to work after hunting season and starting a new "day job".  I'm several weeks behind in emails. I get so many emails that I spend more time answering emails than actually building cables. Some customers know exactly what they want and give me very clear directions.  Others need more help, requiring numerous emails to work out all the details.  I am considering a "special order" NRE charge based on how much time I spend getting all the details and engineering a solution.  If you know exactly what you want, there will not be any additional fee.  Orders that require a lot of time, going back and forth, with numerous emails will be charged a few extra bucks based on how much time and work is required.  So, if you want to save a few bucks, please send me clear instructions.

10/1/06 - I'm currently running about 2 to 3 weeks behind shipping custom orders and about 2 weeks behind answering emails.  Because of the backlog and the upcoming elk hunting season, I will not accept any new custom orders until after hunting season.  I will continue to ship shopping cart items.

9/30/06 to 10/8 - Teresa is on vacation for a week.  If you send her an email expect a delay.

9/3/06 - I hope everyone had a great labor day weekend.  I am still running about 2 weeks behind in responding to emails.  I consider building cables which have been purchased online a higher priority than doing email.  So when I'm busy with cables, I fall behind on emails.  I will get to them all.  Please be patient.  8/11/06 - I'm back to work after taking a month off for health reasons.  I'm behind in emails but I hope to be catch up soon.  I've also got some pictures of new products - a thru the bulk head connector, special nuts for "stud top" batteries and booster cables.

6/18/06 - The price of copper is up 80% in the past year.  Due to the increase, I must increase my prices. 

4/15/06 - Teresa is helping me with emails so I can spend less time typing and more time building cables.   She has helped me with cables for years but she does not have a technical background.  Please be patient with her.

I'm working with the good folks at Rover Renovations to supply them with cables.  They specialize in Land Rover parts so if you want some pre-made heavy duty Land Rover cables or other parts please check out their web site.

The guys at Colorado K5 did a review of our cables.  Read it here -> custom battery cables review.
