I'm not sure what you mean by 262.6 wire but I just rewired my batteries using 2/0 wire which is 5/8" diameter w/ jacket aprox. 1/2" w/o (about twice the size of 4/0}. I made my own crimper from a pair of bolt cutters from Harbor Freight $11. grinding a notch in each "blade". It makes a nice crimp and where I put the notches leaves room to cut the cable too.
