Re: battery cable ???
I know weight may play a part here, but I would suggest a 1/0 cable, resistance increases with length. I'd rather my cable be a little heavy, than not make the call because it's not carrying enough juice to turn a hot motor...

Re: battery cable ???
If weight is a concern, what about Accel's Lightning cable? Copper clad aluminum and available in 1, 2 and 4 gauge 20' and 100' spools?
