Just cut off a lug and strip it yourself.
If you don’t have a good wire stripper to fit that size wire, a small pipe cutter works. Last resort is cutting through the insulation with a knife. In either case, don’t cut all the way through the insulation lest you cut into and lose some wire stands. When you get close, use some pliers to pinch the insulation, twist and pull and twist and pull until it tears free.

For stripping cable any pocket knife works fine. You do not want to use a razor or anything too sharp. The idea is to cut around the wires insulation without putting too much pressure into the cut. Once you have circled the wire twist slightly and pull off the insulation. Practices this and you will find that it becomes second nature and you will rarely ever cut off strands of wire.
I could ship ya one...
Whay are you using it for? What will the stripped end be used in? Would a ferrule be better?

i cant get a clear video anywhere, but it looks like i strip the wires then put them into the inverter then screw it down

For that battery, you’ll want 5/16” lug connections, not 3/8”. The latter will work, but it’s not as a tight connection.
Someone recommended batterycablesusa.com. I hadn’t ordered from them before and their quality and prices look good.
Very easy to order exactly what you want. For your needs:
2 Gauge (2 AWG) Extreme Battery Cable with Ends - Copper Extra Flexible Stranded
$9 each for black and red cables, super flexible insulation and high quality copper wire. 2 feet long, 5/16” lug one end and bare on the other end. $4 shipping
Hmm.
Do you already have it? I havr another brand one, and mine has studs for lug ends.

this one was discounted and thats probably why, i can take the cover off and clearly see the a/c in and out and the pv ins, but for the battery i have to strip the wire and shove it in blindly.
Hmmm. That sucks. Post pics.
Go to your local auto parts store. They sell pre-made battery cables.

Battery Cable USA has options on lug orientation, and even 90 degree bends. I went mostly with marine grade, and extremely pleased with the outcome of my build.
Yes,plus lug hole size on either end,metal type, etc.
And...HUGE PLUS,(I think...these days),as the name implies
MADE IN USA !!!
