Crimp connector and cable advice

[tinglett]

I'm reworking my dual LiFePO4 battery bank for my 2108DS into a nice organized battery box with circuit breaker. I'll post pictures of the effort real soon. But right now I need to order up some #4 cable, crimp connectors, and some kind of crimp tool that can handle this size. Any advice out there?

I was looking at this crimper. Cheap and looks like it might work ok. I don't plan to get into the business so cheap is good so long as it isn't total junk! https://www.amazon.com/TEMCo-Hammer-.../dp/B00E1UUVT0

I see lugs rated with UL, which I understand, as well as heavy-duty vs. marine grade. This will be in my storage bay of my TT so maybe marine is overkill?

Also, anything in particular I should look for in the cable itself? I've settled on #4 for interconnecting my two 100A batteries. The cable run to the converter remains at #6, and I might upgrade that sometime down the road -- but not anytime soon.

You can search google or right on Amazon.com for " Hammer Battery Lug Crimping Tool ". I own one and it works well. You can spend a little more money and get a hydraulic battery lug crimping tool if desired.

This sells for about $ 20 and will well crimp large size bare terminals between # 8 and #$ 2/0. The tool lets you create a gas tight connection by hitting the tool with a large hammer. You insulate after crimping with either heat shrink tubing or electrical tape, if needed.
