Default Battery Cable Opinion Request

I'd like to have your opinion on the red cables in below attachments. I'm thinking of trying to sell these on Ebay and I'd like to know your thoughts of them prior to putting them out there. They are double insulated 4 ga. cable with HD 100% pure copper lugs. I put it next to a stock 6 ga cable in the first pic.

Thanks in advance.

Are the ends soldered? We have found that the crimp sleeve is actually counter - productive. Corrosion starts anywhere air can get to. Air and corrosion gets going under those beautiful crimp sleeves and you can't see it until it is out of control...So I like them bare with grease or sealer sprayed on .Just my 2 cents as you asked......

These are crimped, but I have the ability to solder them.

This is why I asked, so that I can offer the best possible product.

Thanks

By the way, I'm using this heat shrink on the cables. Please check out the specs on it.

Heat shrink is heat shrink. We found that there was more corrosion inside the heat shrink than on bare copper after 1 year.......But that was our findings. you may find otherwise with this new stuff

If you're going to use heat shrink then use a clear one so you can see what's going on.

Nice cables, I'd buy them with no shrink wrap or clear shrink wrap. Do you need any test subjects? I have a club car in need of new wires.

I have to figure out what each set is costing me of course, but it looks like the E-Z-Go cables might be in the $22 to $23 range and CC will be a couple of dollars more.

I don't like / use the copper style ends. They seem to "flake" and just dont hold up as well as the OEM style connectors.
