<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. I ended up going to a NAPA auto parts in Brea, CA who were willing to physically make me a 12" 00 gauge cable that was a bit expensive at 36 bucks, but appears to fit nicely. The new battery cable did not solve my controller problem! m(_ _)m i will investigate welding shops for future reference.
