[QUOTE="poolman966554, post: 8653686, member: 665165"] Maybe i overlook my profession, but a simple 1/2" wire brush, flux, solder, and about 15 seconds of a propane/ mapp gas torch and you have a very secure soldered connection. Soldering is very easy if you understand how it works. Only downside to soldering is you will burn/melt the jacket about 1/4" up from the terminal fitting, but that will be covered by heat shrink anyhow. The upside however, is you get to "clean" the oxidation off the copper terminals and bond your ofc wire to clean copper. oxidation is a bad thing when trying to move lots of current. Hence why oxidized/corroded battery terminals can be the reason your car wont start. [/QUOTE]
