Trying to identify a pre-made Ancor battery lead? A cable's colour alone cannot establish the replacement. The 189130-series black assemblies have 5/16-inch terminal holes, while the red assemblies in this group use 3/8-inch terminal holes. Check the stamped or packaged part number, conductor size, length and mounting stud at both ends.
Three features that identify the correct cable
The 4 AWG and heavier 2 AWG versions have different conductor cross-sections. Size for the circuit and route.
Choose between an 18-inch or 32-inch assembly in this selection, with enough room for proper routing.
Models with black insulation use 5/16-inch lugs here; red-insulated versions use 3/8-inch lugs. Check both studs.

Ancor specifies fine-stranded UL 1426 marine battery cable, flame-retardant UV-inhibited insulation and adhesive-lined 3:1 heat shrink on this assembly family.
Before replacing an existing cable
Check the original cable marking for 4 AWG or 2 AWG and measure its route from terminal to terminal. Determine whether the installed stud hardware is 5/16 inch or 3/8 inch and compare the correct hole diameter. Inspect any existing insulation damage or corrosion at the lug ends. Do not use colour as a substitute for confirming the connection's function.
Do not interchange the 5/16-inch and 3/8-inch lug arrangements without verifying the terminal connection. Battery leads must also be correctly protected, routed and secured according to the equipment manufacturer's electrical requirements.
