    Hydro battery cables are extruded solid aluminum rods that offer significant advantages in material, weight, and cost for your car’s electrical system.

    As a standard, the cables are HYCOT® coated with either polyamide (PA) or polyethylene (PE/XPE) coatings and can be delivered in round, flat or oval shapes.

    Our aluminum battery cables can be applied in electric, hybrid and fossil-fuel driven cars.

    Some vehicle designs today, especially for hybrid models, place the battery away from the engine. This fosters and increases the weight and cost-saving potential that aluminum cables provide.

    Key features and facts

    • Lightweight: 1/3 of weight when compared to copper
    • Saving: Cost savings due to raw material selection and weight savings
    • Coating: Protection, insulation and differentiated design possibilities with PA, PE and XP coatings
    • Printing: Key information can be printed over the product as traceability and customer specification
    • Product specification: Cables are offered in coils or cut to length
    • Processability: aluminum alloys allow specifically designed mechanical properties

    Sustainability

    Hydro offers aluminium with significantly lower carbon footprint. Produced using renewable energy, we offer our brand Low-Carbon Aluminium, which carries a significantly lower carbon footprint than the global average. This enables us to help our customers lower their carbon footprint and to prioritize more sustainable solutions.

    Aluminium is infinitely recyclable without loss of qualities, and recycling requires only around 5% of the energy used for primary aluminium production.
