    Electrical cables and connectors
    In using 2awg cables (copper). I have connectors rated for al/Cu. Will these end connectors increase the resistance? Or should I look for copper connectors?

    If they are rated for CU/AL they should be fine. These are split bolt connectors?

    As I said, if rated for use should be OK.
