Is that a good price?  I ask because I just bought 2 sets of #1 gauge jumper cables 25 feet long for $70 They are fine strand wire.  Not to say I would use them in place of battery cable, but I don't know what makes one kind of wire more desirable than another.

I am sorry I did say marine battery cable right! That means the wire is tinned,so it dosnt get green and corrosion !  I did my research its goes about 6-7 $ a foot

Why spend 3-4x the money for boat cable when you don't need it?


http://www.waytekwire.com/products/1456/Battery-Cable-Welding-Cable/&Gauge=1-0

$2.37 a foot, but you have to by 100 ft. spool.

Napa often sells it by the foot. Welding supply shops will usually cut welding cable by the foot.
