AMC 16mm² Flexible Battery Cable
Red PVC Sheath | 10 Metre Reel | SKU PVC16.10.R
AMC flexible 16 mm² battery cable supplied as a continuous 10 metre red reel. It is suited to compact battery and DC power installations only where the calculated load, run length and voltage-drop limit confirm 16 mm² cable.
Key Features
- Flexible fine-stranded conductor
- 16 mm² conductor cross-section
- Red PVC outer sheath
- 10 metre continuous reel
- Compact 8.3 mm maximum outside diameter

Compatibility / Fitment Guide
Fitment is determined by electrical design, not by a general boat, vehicle, solar or engine claim. Compare the required conductor size in the equipment manual with the full circuit length and current.
| System voltage | Low-voltage DC battery systems where 16 mm² cable is confirmed by calculation and equipment instructions. |
| Typical circuits | Short battery positive feeds, charging links, compact starter circuits and DC distribution feeds within the calculated limits. Red is normally used for DC positive. |
| Required sizing check | Calculate with the maximum circuit current, the full positive-and-return conductor length, permitted voltage drop, duty cycle, ambient temperature and any bundling or engine-space derating. |
| Termination | Use crimp lugs made for 16 mm² cable and the terminal stud size. Crimp with the correct calibrated hex or hydraulic tooling, support the cable mechanically and seal exposed joints with adhesive-lined heat-shrink. |
| Polarity identification | Red normally identifies DC positive. Verify the existing vessel wiring convention and protect the positive conductor according to the equipment maker and applicable standard. |
| Do not select by | Engine horsepower or the catalogue amp figure alone. Confirm the engine/battery manufacturer's cable-size table and the applicable marine electrical standard before installation. |
Important: A nominal 110 A rating does not make 16 mm² suitable for every 110 A load or starter. Voltage drop may require a larger cable even when heating appears acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose this cable from the amp rating alone?
No. The stated figure is a nominal catalogue rating. Safe installation depends on circuit length, allowable voltage drop, duty, temperature, bundling, protection and the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
How is cable-run length measured?
For voltage-drop calculations use the complete current path: the positive feed plus the negative return, unless your chosen calculator explicitly asks for one-way length.
Are terminals included?
No. This listing is for cable on a reel. Select lugs separately to match the conductor cross-section and each terminal's stud diameter.
Can unused cable be installed as AC mains wiring?
No assumption should be made from conductor size alone. Use it only within the product's stated voltage/application rating and the applicable wiring standard.
Installation note: Isolate all power sources before work. Protect positive conductors as required by the equipment manufacturer and applicable marine standard, while observing any specific starter-circuit provisions.
