Wire crimpers

Well everyone. I need to get a wire crimper for putting connectors on thick battery cable. Does a standard crimper do this or do i need a heavy duty one. I already have a standard one but i'm not sure, Thanks in advance:D

If you're putting it on a battery lead, I'd use a vice grips step by step making the gap between the vice jaws smaller each time. I'd also melt solder into the connection when I was done.
