    That said, the cloth insulation was, in fact, "worn" through in spots, as I mentioned, and it was not safely reusable. The ends were also badly corroded. The whole thing was...how about kaput?
    What does it mean when a person is pedantic?
    Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.

    Re: Battery cables 4-0 seems like overkill

    With all the background noise and static in this thread, has anyone bothered mentioning the price difference between 2/0 and 4/0 cable? It’s about $2 a foot… $8 vs $10. I used under 20’ per engine on my 53… I didn’t even bother looking up wiring charts. $40 per engine is a no brained.

    This is certainly the feistiest thread about battery cables I've ever seen on a forum.
