Ed, I mounted a remote aux battery in my pickup and after a lot of
research found that cable for arc welders was much more pliable,
thicker, and generally higher quality, while at the same time being
*MUCH* lower cost than "batter cable". If you end up getting some
fabricated, I highly recommend providing the fabricator with arc welding
cable (about 1/2" in diameter and with hundreds of strands, covered in
pliable rubber). IIRC, this cable is actually rated for more current
than most OEM battery cables and after 10 years of using it in my truck
I can say that it deals with the vibration etc just fine. And it costs
less!
