We used the self-adhering silicone tape I mentioned earlier. It was highly recommended to us by Bill from TruckCamperWarehouse in NH (where we got our Northstar).

It isn't sticky itself, but has some "magical" property that when you stretch it and it contacts itself it just stays.
I can provide pics of it around my battery wiring, if anyone is interested.
x2 on the silicone tape, not only for electrical, but any repair.
I've made repairs to wet garden hoses and fixed tubing for a pond pump while it was under water and under pressure. Also fixed a cracked plastic pour spout for a gas can.
