The thick cables will just let the motor run as good as it can with 12vdc battery. That's not taxing anything. Taxing it would be hooking up 24vdc in batteries to cook it.
Look up Burndy split bolt lugs. Sometime called Bug splice That's how electrician splice. I'm one (Lic 7417) . Copper. They are a slot cut out in a thick copper bolt the wires go into. And the bolt's nut and crushing connector are simply bolted together with wrenches. They insulate with rubber and or electrical tape. Heat is a give away of the connection is shit under full load.
Heat is the connection becoming a resistor. No heat under load is a GREAT connection. That's what causes fires. NOT short circuits but crappy connections.
