OSRAM STARTERcable 300A Starter Cables 16 mm², 3 m

The OSRAM STARTERcable 300A (OSC160) is a 3-metre set of 16 mm² jumper cables designed to transfer power from a donor vehicle to a flat battery in another vehicle. The cable set works with both 6 V and 12 V electrical systems, covering a wide range of automotive battery configurations. A 300 A output current can start petrol or diesel engines with displacements of up to approximately 3.5 litres. The leads use a 16 mm² copper-coated aluminium conductor to balance conductivity and weight. Unlike a portable battery pack, these dedicated jumper cables require a second vehicle to supply the starting power. The cables are intended primarily for professional workshop use and personal emergency situations. The direct battery-to-battery connection ensures reliable engine starting.

Each cable is 3 metres long, providing enough reach to connect vehicles parked in different positions. Flexible PVC insulation keeps the leads easy to handle, even in cold weather. Fully insulated handles and clamps reduce the risk of accidental contact with metal chassis parts. Colour-coded positive and negative terminals help users make the correct connections and avoid electrical errors. The set weighs 2200 g and comes with a travel pouch for tidy storage in a vehicle boot or on a garage shelf. Built-in short-circuit protection reduces the risk of hazards when connecting the cables. Large clamp openings ensure compatibility with the various battery terminal sizes commonly found in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

• 16 mm² cross-section — uses copper-coated aluminium to balance conductivity and weight.
• 6 V and 12 V compatibility — works with a wide range of motorcycles, cars, and light commercial vehicles.
• 3-metre cable length — provides sufficient reach when vehicles are parked in awkward positions.
• Fully insulated clamps — protect the user from electrical contact and minimise the risk of sparking.
• Travel pouch included — keeps the cables neatly coiled and protected from damage when stored in a vehicle.
• 2.2 kg total weight — heavy-duty enough for workshop use, yet portable for personal emergency use.
