If you're making your own battery terminals I would strongly encourage you to get a good 6awg crimping tool. We use one like this: http://www.amazon.com/NOCO-D800-Hamm...hammer+crimper and have sectioned crimps to show that the crimp forces all of the strands into a solid chunk of metal. It is VERY effective when used with the right sized hammer.

I would strongly discourage you from using the screw-compression type terminals that come in the KOP. I feel like those are a cruel joke or a test from FIRST to see who is naive enough to actually use them! I say this because I've never never seen those connectors NOT loosen up rapidly. The only successful implementation of those terminals that I have seen is when they are soldered solidly to the wire.
