use your teeth

thats what i do

Heh.. Crimping wire can be tough, especially with those gold 0 gauge ring terminals. I use a big pair of plumbers channel locks, since I dont have a vise.. You can get'm cheaply at Walmart.

Curious, has anyone found any real advantage to soldering ring terminals are they're crimped? Is it really any sturdier at all, or help with conductivity?? Also, how do the ring terminals (the ones with just an input, but not a hole all the way through, they come down at a slant and close off at the top) that are solder only work? Are they very secure?? Just curious about these things..

lol hahaha you actually tried it? i gotta confess. i tried that too and you're right it is impossible.

to strip 1/0ga wire, i use a pocket knife. and to crimp to terminals, i use a vice or a shop hammer.

To crimp i use a rock. Now thats gangsta!

i would get a new cable cause i think you lose voltage if you add another little piece.

but itll cost some $$$

No, you can use a coupler (with two 0 gauge inputs) that looks like a chineese finger trap, and comes with a protective sleeve) that shouldnt cause any voltage loss.

No, each one should be fused. Leaving a wire that carries so much current unfused could lead to a serious disaster. Fuse both the first battery, AND the second battery.

Better safe than sorry.
