Coleman Cable Inc. removes lead from all battery cables

Removing the lead from its battery cables has been labeled a "win-win-win situation" for consumers and distributors in the aftermarket, says Coleman Cable National Sales Manager David Smith. "We've removed lead from the product, improved its performance, and priced them very competitively," Smith adds.

Coleman Cable Inc. recently announced the complete removal of lead and other hazardous materials from its Road Power line of universal battery cables. The lead-free, RoHS Compliant battery cables, now sold under the Maximum Energy™ brand name, also provide superior starting power for car, truck or marine applications when compared to leaded models.

Maximum Energy Battery Cables are constructed with tin-plated brass terminals that supply the highest-level of corrosion protection and without the dangerous threat of lead contamination. The cable jacket is manufactured from high temperature PVC designed to resist water, oil, and chemicals. These cables feature full gauge stranded copper that extends through the entire length of the flattened lug insuring complete capacity conductivity.

Maximum Energy Battery Cables are available in six, four, or two gauges. Lengths vary from 10 inches to 78 inches, jacket colors include black or red, and some models feature a single or dual lead wire. These cables are available in top post, side post, switch to starter, and lawn and garden models.
