The best terminals I"ve seen I can get at my local Carquest or
Napa auto parts store. They are cast brass with a lead-looking
plating. They get soldered on, which I think is better than
crimping on. The lug end is copper. I"m making some now like
that with 2/0 cable. i think those will be some pretty nice
cables.It sounds to me like that ad is hyping it so they can
charge a lot more $. I"m sure that they work fine, but I doubt
that they are as wonderful as they say. If the copper is really
what, 87% more conductive than lead, then your starter motor
should spin 87% faster, right? It"s a wonder anybody ever got
anything started before Don Fleming came along.
Still, it is important to have GOOD battery cables.
