Shortly after buying my car in 1998 I replaced all cables (+ & -) running
from the battery with marine-grade tinned battery cables and soldered,
spiked and shrink-wrapped the plated terminals. I have not had a problem
in 20 years.
If I were to do it again or replace I would probably use welding cable
simply because it is easier to route through the chassis apertures, and it
can handle more current since there is more copper as a result of the finer
and more numerous wires.
