If you make your own battery cables be very very careful to get a good crimp on the connectors. I bought a crimper fron NAPA that does a nice job, but I used a vice to put enough force on the plunger to get a good crimp. We tested our crimps at work with a hydraulic pull tester to be sure our crimp machine was working properly. When I do my own crimping I put the lug end in the vice and pull very hard on the wire to be sure it's tightly crimped. Proper crimps are eve more important if you are powering an inverter. So is wire size.
