Re: battery cables
Excelene Welding Wire, usually 2awg. Site sponsors have premade kits of these wires. David at Revolution and Scotty at CartsUnlimited

Re: battery cables
I purchased some PrestoLite 2awg welding cable from a local electrical supply company and made my own. I dry fitted each cable before cutting and crimping so they didn't interfere with fill caps and other cables. The OD of the cable would allow passage through the OBC with a little lubricant.

Re: battery cables
I have a couple of crimping tools including a big mechanical one but lately I’ve been using a hydraulic tool with replaceable jaws almost exclusively like this one. https://www.amazon.com/Goplus-Hydrau...KBW4913BH7Z5NH
