So I am ready to hook up my batteries together. I have some 4 awg jumper cables I could cut apart and use. Or my hardware store has 4 awg wire for only 95 cents a foot.The difference is the wire at the hardware store is very stiff and has a sort of hard insulating jacket around it. Where as the jumper cables as you know have the more flexable rubbery jacket around it.What is the difference and which do you think would work best?See More
