"While you're at it why don't you look for gold plated copper bars? Then you would never have to worry about corrosion. Of course, the Gold could rub off when you bolt down the bar."
Thanks for the idea LOL
I have a gold plating setup and might try plating my terminals. I'll be using wire with homemade copper connections again. I hate cleaning connections and corrosion, just might be worth plating them. Though I think gold went up ALLOT since last time I bought plating solution, so maybe not cost worthy now?
Also, durring my absence from the site and lack of doing anything for so long, I forgot about 3 deep cycles wired up not being used for so many months. Funny thing, 2 of the store bought cable ends were actaully ate off the battery!
All my homemade ends from copper tubbing were fine, just corroded a bit and I just wired brushed them.
I think the store bought ones must have been cheap metal that was copper plated?? I think they came on the cables, I don't remember buying anything like that or installing them like that myself.

nothing to lose
Spelin and tpying are my strong points, not electronics.
