@Babaganoosh, what crimper are you using for the battery cable terminals?
For reference here is what it looks like and how I have been doing the cables.
Same one I have. Super easy to use.
I'm really impressed with it, my roomate has been using it to crimp after he adds solder into the joint.
I do the crimp first, then solder.
I thought about doing it with that cable but the insulation is very pliable and thought it would melt.
That cable is going to power this.

MSD 75643-HC High-Current Solid-State Relay 35Ax4, Black
Clean up your wiring with an MSD Solid-State High Current Relay Block. This high current module takes the place of 4 standard relays and eliminates unsightly wiring. Four independent channels can be activated using either power or ground. Each channel is capable of handling up to 35 Amps of...
I’ve got one of those and they are awesome.
Horrible freight sells some of them. I've got one
I think it is the same one, back in the day I bought this because it was the only one that would do 0-12 gauge wire.
I had been debating about getting a crimper like that. I've had good luck using the hammer style in a 20ton press so I'm curious to hear feedback before I switch methods. I saw your picture of the crimp on IG, so I decided to make you post about here too by asking the question.

The nice thing about the hand held hydraulic crimper is, you can use it under the hood or wherever. And if my old, weak hands can use it, anyone can. No force needed.
Under hood use is one of my biggest drivers for getting one.
And you're supposed to have old man super grip strength. That's what we call it around here. Seems like people that work with their hands get stronger grip the older they get.
I don't think that, but maybe I have used too many impact wrenches and air hammers. Bad for joints.
This one is really nice also. I've had several employers that provided it as a shop tool and it works really well and does all sizes battery cables. Kinda big for certain on vehicle areas.
I broke one of the cheap black/yellow Amazon chiniseium specials. Used the wrong dies and they bottomed out prior to completely crimping the end. Much like the gorilla I am, I kept pumping. Snapped the top part of the tool off pretty easy. It's just cast so it didn't take much pressure to break it.
Use the correct dies for the gauge and it won't do that.
