So i'm just going with the safe bet and not using these cables because a normal one says "10A - 125V" but i have one that says "13A - 125V" and another that says "10A - 250V"

 

Anyone know for sure? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

They're all good as long as they aren't missing pins or damaged. the higher amperage one is good for if your system draws a shit ton of power, basically equating to thicker wires in the cord.

The cables are simply rated to handle those voltages and amps.

As long as it fits and it's rated higher then stock, you're fine, if not better.
