Default Galvanized steel as a conductor

I don't know the name of what I have. It's steel, galvanized I think,
a half inch wide, 1/16 inch thick and was about 3 feet long when I
bought it. Now I would like to cut 2 one-inch pieces, drill holes in
each end, and use screws and nuts to attach my new motorcycle battery
to one end and the battery "cables" to the other end of each piece.


steel is many times the R of copper, high current apps like this its
quite unsuitable for. Get a copper slate tingle and use that.
