[QUOTE="Deon1818, post: 8773357, member: 661289"] Yes, there are. but regular wire works fine if you just crimp some ends on. Yeah, you'll get some headlight dimming. And your alt will work harder. replacing the alt a couple times is probably still cheaper than a H.O. Name brand batteries - XS, Yellow top Optima.

XS and car audio brands will probably be the only ones that lists the wattage recommended for their batteries. You're kind of at the wattage where beefy electrical is encouraged but not required.
