Phillips Industries has introduced Clear-VU battery jumpers, which allow early detection of costly corrosion build-up. Maintaining electrical capacity is critical to maximizing the reliability of a vehicle, but Phillips says that with standard black and red battery cables corrosion is hidden, silently robbing power from a trucks’ electrical system.

Replacing OEM battery cables with Clear-VU cables lets you see any corrosion developing from the inside, which could ultimately save you from replacing your alternator, starter & battery, the company says. The heavy wall shrink tubing gives additional corrosion protection by stopping water and contaminants from entering the charging system. The cables are available in smoke and translucent red in both 2- and 3-lug configurations.
