I only need 5 foot of 4 gauge.
Here's what I'm hoping to build for my battery charger.

Looks neat and tidy, until the day you have to replace only one end of one side
Or you get a battery problem and draw too much current and melt the poly vynl and short the two conductors together
Everybody gave a lot of good info on where to get battery cables but I'm looking more of where to buy (((((( ZIP CORD ))))))) for a reasonable price ???
Powerwerx is too exspensive for me and I don't necessarily need marine grade just good copper grade in a zip cord form.
Yea , I understand your concerns about the positive and negative running along side one another , it's only going to be used for my battery charger and I'm always present while charging and plus everything is fused well and secured matched appropriately.
Zip cord..

Never used them, but I bookmarked this place after a similar question a few years ago. They don't seem to have a minimum length.

I have purchased many items from them.

It would not matter for voltage drop if you used a thinner ferrule and got as many strands as possible in that. Be like having a short but thinner pigtail where it is so short it does not make for a high R.
I had to use a strain relief trick with one of my set-ups (photo to be found maybe) because of that and no ferrules, with a 100 amp charger that needed fat gauge wires. (In that case it was a cut off set of #2 cu-al jumper cables. The cu-al was ok as long as you oversize it compared with cu.) With ferrules, I would not have needed that strain relief I think.
In this case, I would just go to the auto store and get two 3 ft long #4s with lugs on them, cut off one end, and use the next size down ferrules to be sure they fit in the set-screw terminals.

Looks heat and tidy, until the day you have to replace only one end of one side
Or you get a battery problem and draw too much current and melt the poly vynl and short the two conductors together
But I Can Not understand it for you !
