Replacement battery cables - Guy - 10-08-2016

I need a source to have 4/0 ground cable made up in Southern California. I went to the local Truck NAPA store, but they don't make them up and had no suggestions. My coach ground cable for the chassis batteries has become loose in the compression connector of the ground lug, and is causing problems. I am not in trouble with it yet, but I will be very soon.. I would rather not invest in crimping tools, as I am in a 12 step recovery program for tool addicts.

i just had cables made at my local napa. they soldered and crimped the ends along with waterproof shrink tubing.

my starting battery cables were 3/0.

i have also had cables made at an interstate battery store.

I have had good luck with buying cables off eBay. Great quality & price.
BUT, you have to be careful that you read & understand the description.

For some reason, the 3 NAPA stores in my area do not make cable up, but........

I just received my cable ,  2/0 cable custom made from this source.They do as large as 4/0
Easy to order, custom, and was good  quality, reasonable and delivered in 3 working days.
