Hi William - I would stick with tin coated copper battery cable lugs. The tin coating adds corrosion resistance to the copper - this is especially important for battery connections which already have a tendency to corrode. The ground lugs we all historically used on our racking systems should have been all tin coated copper (or now there are some tin coated aluminum) lugs with stainless hardware for the same reason.
