Battery post / cables
Is it a big deal to use 3/8 lugs on 5/16 battery post? I am doing a 4x6v GC battery install with 4/0 wire and have 3/8 lugs.

When using L-terminal or stud (NEVER use wing nuts) batteries I like to use stainless steel bolts, washers and nuts. Almost corrosion proof, but I still apply a good "gob" of grease (silicon dielectric or Vaseline or axle/bearing grease in a pinch) on top of the connect, covering the area where the metal connection comes through the plastic case. t make not look pretty, but it is cheap and effective insurance !
Fluid Film spray of Lanolin spray work well and "look" better, but need to be cleaned and reapplied every year or two.
