Hopefully someone here can help. Googling "#2" yields 2 AWG AND 2/0. Call them. |

Re: welding cable question
If your going to make these.....I would suggest crimp and solder. Just crimp is fine.....but solder really helps with the current transfer.
FWIW |

Re: welding cable question
If you solder connections: Make sure to use rosin core solder. DO NOT use acid core solder. Rosin core solder is for electronics and acid core solder is for plumbing. The acid in acid core solder will actually eat and degrade the connections over time. The current flow thru the connection causes a chemical reaction.
