What type of power cables can be used for battery connections to 1500 watt inverter?

CCA or OFC

I use welding cable. I attach my own ends with a hydraulic crimper but most welding stores will attach lugs for you. Welding cable is much easier to run, nice thick insulation very fine stranded wire so it is easy to route. you can get colors but I just get black and then attach red shrink wrap on the ends. Compare 4/0 welding cable to std variety 4/0 battery cable. you'll immediately see the advantage to welding cable. For my 1000W inverter I use 4/0 welding cable.

what thickness should be used for about 10-15 feet run for a 1500 watt inverter? I know it should be as close as possible to batteries but just for convenience, hoping to put further away with a thicker wire if possible.
