My charge controller (victron smart solar 100/20) only takes 10 awg wire. I’m wiring it to a lynx distributor. I’ve looked everywhere I can think of for some solid looking copper lugs that fit 10 awg, but can only find the little insulated ring terminals. Maybe they’re fine, but they just seem a little wimpy for the job. Anyone know where to find some beefier 10 awg 3/8 copper lugs? Or would ring terminals work fine? Thank you!

The source I use for lugs goes down to only 6 awg.
Here's an option I found on Amazon:
I have no idea if they are good quality or not.

If you get high quality marine grade ring terminals that are rated for your load then that will work just fine. The marine grade terminals that I have state up to 49A for the yellow (12-10AWG) terminals. You have a 20A load and probably a 25A fuse/breaker between the SCC and battery (Lynx). As long as your ring terminals are rated for 30A or more (higher than the fuse/breaker) then they will work fine.
