Battery compartment redo

[Jeff Miller]

I bought a really nice braided and tinned double-strap ground for
Stephen and Tristan's 8V96 PT40, got it from my friends at the local
fleet supplier, lugs on both ends. I really like the flexibility of
braided straps in that weight.

I think Stephen liked it better than the 4/0 stuff also.

As far as welding cable, very easy to work with, but not pre-tinned
like the marine cables. I'm not sure what the difference is in
insulation (heat or chemical resistance, flame spread, temperature
resistance, smoke production, lots of stuff to consider in UL listed
cables). Welding cables sure are a lot less $$ though.

The local West Marine sells the heavy-gauge marine cables by the foot,
red and black, have crimper and lugs too.
