Any one want to go halfs on battery cable? size 1/0 black and red

Bestboatwire.com sells this for $4.84 a foot plus shipping.  Genuinedealz.com sells it for $5.15 a foot and shipping is free.  They are the same company.  The difference is the shipping cost.  I compare final cost at both and often bestboatwire.com is cheaper.

If your thinking of making up your own cables it may be cheaper to have a battery shop do them. When I was building my house battery back I was going to make my own but after pricing all the cable, connectors and a good crimp tool it came out less by letting my local battery shop do them in each color. I just gave him the specifications on each cable and I had them in a few days.

    And if you're specifying your gauge, color etc. you have flexibility to get exactly what you need.  I don't know what other uses call for but my bus uses 4/0 cable for the battery connections and my inverter specifies 4/0 cable for the main inverter pos and ground cables.   There are probably good uses for 1/0 cable but it would be pretty small for most of my cable uses.

    And Clifford, on my bus I have a short (approx. 12") jumper lead between my two start batteries (series to make 24V).  When I made it (a friend happened to have a cable crimping tool), I made a 4" section of the cable at one end with red heat shrink on it so it's color coded for the correct connection to the battery posts.  Probably not necessary, but I like that it's there.

     Thanks for posting that chart, I found it useful - in fact, I copied the the graphic off and put it in my "electrical data" file for when I need it in the future (and I'm sure that I will need it in the future.)  Thanks for posting that chart, it's really helpful.
