In Ocober 2017, a group here was discussing the need for larger battery cables for 6-volt systems. I took was Jim (Janicholson) said to heart when he posted, "Battery cables need to be 0 gauge."
So I've looked for them. At a local welding supply house, the guy showed me his display: From smallest to largest, the cables were labeled #4, #2, #1, #1/0, #2/0 and #4/0. I assume the 0 gauge Jim talks about is the #1/0. Jim, is that right? The guy in the store did not seem to relate to "0 gauge."
Could you confirm this, Jim? I'd feel a lot better if you did.
Also, does anyone know where I could find the terminal ends--the type where you drop in some solder pellets, heat them, and secure the cables in that way? I don't want to screw around with nuts/bolts/clamping type.
Thanks! David
