Listing heading says 800 amp, but the description says 600 amp. Which is correct?

I looked at several other sellers listings and they all say 800 amp so I'm pretty confident that they are in fact 800 amp capacity.I would agree with Earl C. Harris in that these are very high quality booster cables.

The amp rating is for the jaws only. NEC table 310-16 shows that 1awg wire will do a max of 150 amps, and even professional rated welding cable at 1awg will only handle about 190 amps. The highest rated consumer available wire I've seen is 750MCM wire, which is over 1.15" in diameter, not nearly flexible or light enough for jumper cable use, and is still only rated at 535 amps.

The label is very skimpy. it does not have amps, watts, or hp. Sorry, I do not know.

The one I got goes up to 600....Maybe they only advertise it as 400 so if it malfunctions above 400 they wont be liable

My son in law is a building electrician.I asked him the same question when I bought the 8 amp.He said to get as far away as you can from the 5.9 amp motor.The 8 amp is a very good price and you won't find it on ebay because I looked. If you can afford the 10 amp get that one.You do not want to deal with the switch getting warm.That 8 amp switch I bought is working beautifully.You will burn up the 6 amp switch!!!

The one with 400W in the name is 400W. They make a 600W, maybe they copy/pasted the description without updating.

Label on back says AC 1 amp / DC 5.5 amps and Total input is 80 watts Hope this helps

No, I had 2 of them on 600 true watts and it pushed them pretty hard. I wouldn't even try putting one on 800.

I spoke with my husband about this and he said that it is 10 amp but acts like it has more power, he uses it at work and it has been very handy because of the configuration. Hope this helped.

Probably a 300-600 watt max amp. I have a 850 watt amp and have gone through 2 of these. Wattage specs may be a little higher than what these can actually handle. 10 gauge for connecting wires.

800 watts/120 volts = 6.7 amps for the heater. Current draw for the controller would be vey small.

I wish I could help. Here is the spec sheet on it and there is no information on the amp rating, just the surge protection. http://media.accobrandspartner.com/datasheets/datasheet2012.aspx?sku=K62634&language=us&country=us&sow=1&hrp=1&brandID=6

So the actual power is only 200W, not 300W. Your guys just cheating us on this listing!!!

The spec just means it is rated at 15 amps, but the total wattage cannot exceed 500 watts, which is about 4 amps. They are just saying it is overbuilt.

Hello, it is 720 watts (6amp). I do not use it a lot, but everytime I needed it performed greatly. Cheers!

"go on line to look it up." duh. Wow thanks for the help man. The product description on the Home Depot web site says 1.7 amp. I don't know why but over the years, one finds less and less product information on web sites and even on packages. After all these consumer regulations, it would seem we would be more informed not less. To me, if you don't proudly display all relevant product specs, you are trying to hide something you don't want the consumer to know.

Sorry- not sure. Mine arrived and I think were labeled OK, but I installed it, and the unit immediately burned out. I presumed it couldn't handled the amps in the batteries, but may be I miss wired it. Regardless, I just wrote it off as a bad purchase.

Well, its 12.5 amps per unit, so if its the only thing you are using you can have 8 running at the same time. I have 2 and they take care of my needs. But it ultimately depends on what else you have running.
