Scope
This SAE Standard covers low voltage battery cable intended for use at a nominal system voltage of 60 VDC (25 VAC) or less in surface vehicle electrical systems. The tests are intended to qualify cables for normal applications with limited exposure to fluids and physical abuse.
Rationale
The standard has been updated with the following changes:
-
Updated 2.1.1 and 2.2.3.
-
Added 3.1 and updated 3.3 and 3.15.
-
Expanded 4.1.
-
Deleted the reference to thick wall in Table 1A.
-
Updated 4.2.
-
Expanded Section 5 to include long-term heat aging test and crosslinking test.
-
Updated references to appendix.
-
Revised 6.2 language to read easier.
-
Expanded 6.3 to include new cable types and temperature classes.
-
Added 6.4 test method and requirements.
-
Revised 6.5 and 6.7 language to read easier.
-
Updated references to figures; included all cable types and relocated after methods.
-
Added reference to equation.
-
Revised 6.13 to read easier.
-
Added 6.14 method and requirements along with Figures 5, 6, and 7.
-
Removed Appendix C.

Issuing Committee
The scope of the Cable Standards Committee includes the development of standards for automotive cable used in passenger cars and light duty trucks. The scope includes all voltage rating up to but not including ignition cable. Additionally, the committee strives to harmonize SAE and ISO standards by establishing uniform test methods, dimensions, & performance requirements.
Reference
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
