Car battery cables are made of a fine braid wire. Standard braid cables
can stress crack at solder and crimp joints due to vibration.

I've got an old Farmall, when I inherited it it had 1ga battery cables
for the 6v electrics.
I put on 0ga cables and the improvement was tremendous. Next time they
need changing I'll probably go 00.
A few years ago I'd suggested 0ga cables for my 240D and Marshall read
me the riot act. My 190D has cables that are ugly at best.
I've been thinking replacement this summer and if I do they'll be no
smaller than 0ga. It might not help but it shouldn't hurt and if I need
to do them anyway...

When we would make up cables for our rental generators
we used the scraps to make battery cables for our
cars. We had the nice solder type battery terminals,
too. Voltage drop? We don't need no stinkin' voltage
drop!
I can recall a VW I had that was retrofitted with a
set of these. Darn starter would practically spin out
of the bellhousing when I cranked it.
