Hello,

I would like to know where I can buy this cable. I replaced the battery's but one of the cables broke.

That looks like an ordinary piece of 10 AWG (american wire gauge) wire with quick-disconnect crimp terminals, and heat shrink tubing over the terminals.

Assuming the wire is stranded, you stick the terminal onto the wire, crimp it, then melt a bead of solder onto it to secure it in place. Slide the heat shrink tubing over the end, and use a heat gun to shrink it (might be able to use a hair dryer, but it'll take a lot longer).

You'll have to make sure the terminals are the correct size, so if there's an electronics store in your town, it would be worth bringing the pieces there.
Can you pass on the make and model of your UPS? Are you sure you can't source the parts from a local certified electrician? The connectors/prongs look like they are within a heat shrink which is why I'm asking that you seek professional assistance.

If you're asking about just the wire, then the correct gauge of the wire is imprinted on the outer insulation of that wire. From your image, it looks like 10AWG.

Thank you, that was really helpful. Tomorrow I am going to a store to buy the wire and the crimp terminals. Is a Alphacool HardTube Heat Gun Pro 2000W good enough to shrink it?
