Best way to add terminals to 2/0 wire?
I did it just like you Kevin, the hammer crimper from Mc Master-Carr was less
than $30, does up to 4/0, and makes nice looking crimps. Then solder and
heat-shrink. I think the solder is necessary at the battery end to keep
corrosion from getting in between the fine strands of the welding cable.

Steve,

I re-wired my batteries about a year ago. I used a crimping tool where you
place the lug in it, put the wire in the lug, and give it a good smack with a
hammer.
