I got my thicker battery cable for my relocation project, wrapped it up with tape, and went to the store to get terminals for it. Now, I got brass terminals for the battery posts (better than lead/steel ones, right?), but what is the correct name for the terminals at the other end? Like, where the battery cable connects to the solenoid and I suppose you could use the same type for the ground cable? The store had "cable lugs" which I guess is what I'm talking about, but they were only 3/8" opening and I'm using a 1guage wire....

Ok, thanks! You think they would just make one that bolts down like thebattery post connectors...

 

You may also wish to consider soldering the connection after you have staked it. Basically you put the cable in a holding fixture (Vise, clamp, etc..) then take a propane torch and heat up the lug/wire end. When hot enough, the solder will wick up inside the connection making it solid. Remember to use a flux before staking the cable in the lug.

You may also want to use some heat shrink over the end to keep it from arching on anything.

 

psssst, Napa sells them too:P If you're nice, they may even build you a cable. It may be expensive, but you won't have to buy the tools yourself...
