[QUOTE="nb2118, post: 8856829, member: 689815"] Hi, I bought 4 gauge Kolossus Flex cable (OFC) and used these couples to repair, connecting a cut stock battery cable together. After it cut, the cable was about a foot too short to reach my battery terminal which is why I did this. Conext Link WCT4N-2 Wire Coupler Terminal Butt Connector with Set Screws 2 Pack (4 Gauge) (16756) [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M2UMM40/?tag=caraudiocom-20[/URL] This worked fine for some months, but it looks like the wires have burned on the ends of the wires connecting each other. Is this not an appropriate way to connect these? Do I need a different kind of cable (ie. Not OFC)? Or maybe a fuse? I'd rather not have my car blow up so any help appreciated [/QUOTE]
