I would use the same size cable as 19/072 but get the super flexible stuff
with the thousands of conductors like arc welder cable. In Australia the
size is 50 mm squared. I don't know what you call it in the US.
Use the crimp lugs with 3/8 or 1/2 inch holes and stainless or high tensile
bolts and should not have any volt drop problems.
