Battery Lugs – heavy-duty, tinned, 2/0 cable lugs
Got these battery cable lugs early this year but forgot to post some info on them. Made a couple short cables for doubling the trolling motor range. So, for they are great. Should hold up real nice. 1, since they are tinned they should resist corrosion better and 2, they are very heavy-duty.

Battery Terminal Covers 2/0
Battery terminal covers are a good idea for battery connection. I'm thinking all it would take is a loose tool or chunk of metal scrap to ruin my day. Locally, I could only find battery terminal covers packaged in pairs and to actually fit my 2/0 cable I would need to special order them. I bought these terminal covers ebay since I could purchase them in bulk.
