Battery terminals anyone?

How do you figure it's irrelevant? Isn't the advantage of increased strand count what seperates 1/0 wire from 4 gauge and so on? As far as I knew, the bigger the diameter of the wire, the larger the number of strands within it, the better the conduction. Seems relevant to me.
I guess it comes down to the gauge of each individual strand itself... if a strand's gauge was universal among all brands of wire, then an increased count would certainly translate to better conductivity, BUT in the real world with differing sizes, I suppose a single "strand" that was 1/2" in diameter (basically a copper bar) would probably prove a little more efficient than 5000 tiny strands packed into a 1/0 cable.
Sorry for the threadjack, once again, nice terminals.

But Ive used welding cable a lot and never had an install where it wasnt flexible enough for me to use it.
