[chbot] Heavy cable, terminations & crimp tool to replace golf cart cable

[Mark Atherton]

Would be useful to know the square-area of the cable. That would also 
identify the appropriate crimp connector type. Also need hole size in 
the connector. Are there any part numbers on any of this stuff ??
