Decided to use 8awg cable from my battery to my SCC via an 8mm stud busbar. Battery to busbar using SC copper terminals no issue
Can connect the cable to the busbar using same sc connector but the issue lies at the SCC end
As it's only a 4.5 to 5mm ring terminal or fork connection. Is there a connector available
Or should I use the existing SCC connector and cable and try and get a 8mm connector at the busbar end (the cable is 2.5mm diameter)
2x 120w PV running in parrellel
If using a smaller agw cable would I then need to put a lower rated fuse between SCC and busbar as I will be using a 30amp fuse between the battery and busbar

I always just buy these assorted terminal kits which have a bunch of sizes in them and customize the cable to fit how I need...

Examples of 2 kits I have bought several times:
and:

And just use a Harbor Freight hydraulic crimper to put the end I want on...

Do you have a picture of what the mismatch is to make it more clear?
