Ideas to cover unused battery wire end

[jaytee]

On my rv I went to lithium and removed under hood coach battery. I have a live positive cable unused and want to keep it around but out of the way ziptied to a semi safe spot. Taped up the cable end but is there a cleaner boot or cable cover anyone aware of?

Marine grade heat-shrink should seal the end up nicely.
Cut the wire and insulation flush and leave sufficient overlap of the heat shrink to seal the end.
possibly put a plastic "cork" in the end if you can find something the correct size.

I'd like to be able to be easily able to remove the protection when I need to access positive cable for manual charging if needed.

Crimp and heat shrink the appropriate lug onto the wire bolt it to a battery post.
Put an insulating boot on the post.

I have a 6 gauge wire that I took out of service a couple years ago in my RV trailer that was still active. I used electrician's tape. This year I found a use for that same wire. The tape was in great shape and I wished that I hadn't done such an effective job of taping it up.
