Correct, connections are "very" important. Last time that I used welding cable for battery connections I used a crimping tool with copper lugs for the starter end of the connection (with heat shrink tubing to cover it after crimping it), and a generic battery end clamp for the battery end of the connection. No trouble with it after being in service for 2+ years, tho I wish I had something better for the battery end, just because there is not that much room in the battery box to work with.... :o). Howard
