When I went searching the automotive stores for a battery cable, the cable was too undersized for EV needs (I will assume your cables are made using 00 gauge the same as mine were). The ones in the store were like 4 gauge. I bought a couple of the automotive clamps and bought four of the pre-made cables for the wiring. I bound four of the cables clamped down on each end of the automotive clamps I had bought. This arrangement was still half the amount of copper I really needed, but it worked, only I had to drive conservatively so the wires did not get too warm.
But that was a short term solution, until I could make a proper 00 gauge cable replacement. As has been posted, a local welding place may be able to help you. Or you could also ask other conversion EV drivers in the Los Angeles area for where to have a cable made. Here is a search of evalbum.com for driver listings mentioning Los Angeles http://google.com/#output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=evalbum+los+angeles {brucedp.150m.com} On Wed, Jun 12, 2013, at 02:00 PM, 85VWCabrioletEV wrote: > Ok, found one of my battery tie cables has a cracked clamp where it > clamps > around the automotive style battery post.
