Here is a hint about battery cables/crimp on terminals.
Go to your local Welding Supply Store, they will have spools of various gages of welding cable. Have them cut the cables in the lengths that you want. Normally they will also have an assortment of crimp on terminals in various sizes.
Welding cable is MUCH more flexible than standard battery cables and has an industrial strength insulation. My local shop will even crimp on the terminals for me and normally will be less expensive than the pre-made cables at auto supply stores, plus they will be cut to your custom lengths.
Remember to measure the length twice and cut once!
