<div dir="ltr">Hi William -<div><br></div><div>I would stick with tin coated copper battery cable lugs. The tin coating adds corrosion resistance to the copper - this is especially important for battery connections which already have a tendency to corrode. The ground lugs we all historically used on our racking systems should have been all tin coated copper (or now there are some tin coated aluminum) lugs with stainless hardware for the same reason.</div><div><br></div><div>August</div><div><br></div><div>Luminalt</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Apr 8, 2019 at 8:21 PM Kienan Maxfield <<a href="mailto:maxfieldsolar@hotmail.com">maxfieldsolar@hotmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

William,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The plain copper can corrode much faster. I like the tinned ones made by Quick Cable. You can get them from PV Cables.

<div>I really like PV Cables. They always treat me really well and their prices are great. </div>
