Pearl Universal Battery Strap – 12in Insulated Ring (PES15C)

Description

Genuine Pearl · Part no. PES15C

Pearl's PES15C is a 12in black battery strap with an insulated cover and an 8mm ring terminal on each end, so it bolts between two studs or bolts rather than clamping onto a post. Rated to a maximum load of 105A, it suits a short earth strap from engine or gearbox to body, or a link between two terminal studs.

Good to know

• Is 12in long enough? Measure the old strap end to end along its actual route, bends included; a strap pulled tight cracks at the rings as the engine rocks on its mounts.
• Can it carry a starter feed? It is rated to 105A at most; a starter motor's main feed normally uses thicker cable than an accessory or earth strap, and any replacement should be at least the size of the original.
• Why change an earth strap at all? A poor earth strap causes slow cranking, dim lights and odd electrical faults, so a frayed or corroded one is worth swapping; clean both contact faces to bare metal before bolting the new one on.

Which one?

Longer, the Pearl Universal Battery Strap – 15in Insulated Ring (PES16C); for a strap that clamps straight onto a battery post at one end, the Pearl Universal Battery Strap – 12in Insulated (PES11C).
