Need a longer battery to starter cable

Like the title says but the biggest cable I can find is rated at 415 amps. Will this be enough or do I need a higher amp cable? I mean if you got a 800 CCA battery surely I must need a cable rated at 800 amps or more or maybe use 2 cables. Defender 200tdi.

you know that's just for a unterminated meter length ? - unless you have the fairly expensive crimp tool you'll be better buying a ready made

VWP - battery cables

that current rating will be for continuous use - it'll handle probably triple that for short periods

"that current rating will be for continuous use - it'll handle probably triple that for short periods" I was hoping you would say something like that. Yep those terminal tools sure are expensive!! Don`t have one and probably isn`t worth buying one. I`ll email those guys at WMP and hopefully they will supply me with the terminals fitted.

WTF do you need 60mm(2) cable for? Its only a standard battery.
