Re: [electricboats] Battery Cables?

and in case it wasn't obvious, use tinned cable lugs, not copper only.  If the connections are exposed to moist air or wet environments I would use lanolene spray or similar and then rubber hoods.

Get good marine cable.  You want fine strand, fully tinned cable.  When I did my conversion, the best prices that I found were from www.genuinedealz.com
I did all of my main power connections in 2/0 cable.  After all you've spent on your drive system and batteries, don't cheap out on your cabling.
