Hey Paul,
Another thing to consider is strand count. The more strands, the more pliable, and longer life it will live. I'd go larger than 0 IMHO. .32" diameter seems a little small for a couple hundred Amps, doesn't it? =-O |

It's much more flexible. I went locally to West Marine and bought mine by the foot. The strands in their "marine grade" battery cable are individually plated as well, for corrosion resistance. They also sell heavy duty lugs, shrink sleeving with sealant inside, and an inexpensive lug crimping tool. You put the lug in it, put the cable in the lug, and whack it with a hammer. Shrink the sleeving over it, and you're done. |
