[RE-wrenches] Battery Cables

[Wind-sun.com]

It is possible to get UL listed "welding" cable, though it costs quite a bit 
more than standard welding cable. It is the same type used in the robotic 
welding machines and similar applications.

Although Bob-o might have come across a bit angry, I have to agree with his 
opinion on the codes for welding cable not being "legal".
