Battery cables can run close to headers, turbos, and exhaust routing in high-performance builds, and stock cable insulation was never rated for sustained under-hood heat. The Heatshield Products Battery Cable Shield covers those cables in a flexible, high-temp sleeve that handles 1100°F continuous exposure and 2000°F intermittent peaks, cutting radiant heat transfer by up to 60% before it reaches the wire beneath.
Flexible weave that installs without disassembly. The sleeve's woven construction expands to slip over battery terminals, connectors, and tight bends without cutting or splicing the cable. Once in place, it conforms closely to the cable geometry and stays put even in high-vibration environments.
Dual-purpose protection against heat and abrasion. Beyond thermal shielding, the woven sleeve guards battery cables against chafing on brackets, firewall grommets, and chassis edges. In turbocharged, supercharged, or track-built engines where vibration and heat combine, that abrasion resistance matters as much as the thermal rating.
Includes heat shrink for a clean finish. Each kit contains two red and two black heat shrink pieces so the sleeve ends seal neatly at both terminations. The result looks intentional rather than aftermarket, which matters in a show-quality or restomod build as much as it does on a race car.
Available in three wire gauges. Kits are offered for 6-gauge, 4-gauge, and 1-gauge battery cable so the shield matches the cable already in the vehicle without sizing compromises.
Product Benefits
- 1100°F Continuous Rating: Handles sustained under-hood temperatures from headers, turbos, and exhaust without degrading.
- 2000°F Intermittent Rating: Survives brief spikes from heat sources in close proximity to the cable run.
- Up to 60% Radiant Heat Reduction: Blocks the majority of radiant heat before it reaches the wire insulation.
- Expandable Weave: Stretches over terminals and connectors so installation requires no disassembly.
- Abrasion Resistance: Shields cables from chafing on brackets and chassis edges in high-vibration applications.
- Included Heat Shrinks: Two red and two black heat shrink pieces provide clean, professional-looking end terminations.
- Multiple Gauge Options: Available in 6-gauge, 4-gauge, and 1-gauge kits to match existing cable sizes.
