But thank you anyhow for the suggestions.

What do you want to connect to this 2 wire "speaker cable" cord????
Hopefully nothing that draws more than about 60 - 100 watts of power
and definitely nothing that should be grounded - - - -


I've actually got a real use for even an... 18 gauge 100 foot
cord. Namely a Battery Tender brand name Battery Tender
to reach my car outside the home.

(I'm actually using a series of 14 gauge)

It pumps out 3 amps at 12V, takes in about 80 watts...

(The newer ones are a bit more efficient 'cuz California)
