This is probably the last time I will do anything with this cable, so I am trying to keep tool cost low. Thanks for the research though.
To strip that cable, I carefully run a utility knife around the jacket, taking care not to touch the wire, and then cut from the ring to the end. take the end of your finger nail, or a small thin flat blade and pry the insulation apart where you cut the end. It should spread apart, then peel like a orange.
Question, on my home the ground wire does not have to be as heavy as the hot leads, are battery systems the same way or should they all be the same size? All my cable is black, but I will cover ground wires with appropriate colored tape, either white or red, have not decided.
