175 amp rating is a continous draw rating for the 2 ga. cable. It can handle 425 amps for brief intermittent preiods if allowed to cool sufficiently. Most battery cable will have a temp. rating of the max. temp that the insulation will withstand printed on the insulation every 6 inches or so. Usually 105 degree C. is pretty common on most cables.
