WG wiring - testing with our Harbor Freight hydraulic crimping tool - 2012

We did some testing with our Harbor Freight hydraulic crimping tool. We first bought it for one job. That was to crimp 2/0 cables from our windlass to batteries after we did a refit of the cables. May 2012 - Currently at Marina Kona Kai  Shelter Island San Diego, CA   

We had to use the 00 dies in the tool to make that crimp. So we figured the dies would be different for the #6 cables but we now think not.

We tried the #6 dies in the tool and the crimp looks really good and it cannot be torn apart, at least by me. 

We tried the #8 dyes, but the crimps look too flat (right).

We used #6 cable and #6 butt connectors.

We also tried two #10 wires together into one # 6 but connector and they fit real nice. We did not do a crimp, seemed a waste of a connector.

We also tried a #10 wire bent over in two and it fit really nice in the #6 butt connector.

We will need to wire the green (ground) and black wires together at the Air Breeze so that was one test.

We will need to wire a #10 black and green wire from the Air Breeze wind generator to the #6 black to battery negative so that was another test.

We also need to wire in a switch and a 5/16 battery eye to fuse terminal.

Need to purchase more # 6 terminal ends and some heat shrink with glue.

So, it looks like this all works out. Now to do the job!
