Duane,
There are several series of terminal sizes, such that not all #2/0 terminals
have the same inside diameter. Those made for fine strand wire have a
slightly larger ID. If you find an electrical supply with a large
selection, it's likely you can find a terminal that is a snug fit for each
of your cables. If the nearest terminal is a BIT too small, you can cut a
FEW strands of the cable to make it fit. Most 12v battery cables are sized
for voltage drop, not ampacity, and the small discontinuity probably won't
matter. If in doubt, consult someone knowledgable about the specific case
in question..
Often, in cutting old cables for new terminals, I find corrosion such that
there is no reliable way to get a good connection of the new terminal. In
these cases, the cable should be replaced with new.
