Is it worth getting flexible wire
looking at this stuff to wire my batteries bank / inverter
It is very close to what i can get normal 2/0 wire for. Thoughts?

Yes it is, regular 2/0 is pretty hard to bend

Welding wire is the good stuff IMO.

You will appreciate the flexibility and more surface area for current to travel, less resistance than regular 2ott.

The last install I did, the bus owner provided most of the materials.
He provided "ultraflex" 2/0 for the battery and inverter.
It was awesome! It is somewhat more expensive but I think that it is definitely worth it.

Anything exposed to the elements I only use marine grade UL1426 **tinned** copper wire and top notch marine crimp terminals.
Welding wire is not tinned, will wick water like a sponge and then corrode like crazy.
