Using copper for connections to batteries and criss cross wiring

[theremart]

I have found this much cheaper. You do have to be careful about shorts, but so much cheaper than standard connectors.

This method of wiring the larger banks sure works well!

Good tips theremart. Thanks.

I reckon it would be easy enough to apply some kind of plastic coating on the copper to prevent shorts.

Yes, I have been looking at others comments, so far I think either shrink tubing or old garden hose would improve the setup. In a pinch I guess you could use electrical tape.

What I do is simply wrap electrical tape on all my wrenches I use to work on the batteries, and I stay awake when I do any connections.

What about plasti-coat dip? You can get it in aerosol can too.
