[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 2294379, member: 550915"] Sounds like you're using the wrong solder then. Solder with a high silver content will basically be the same or less resistance as a piece of wire of the same length. I've yet to hear about a good solder joint causing a high resistance voltage drop (even after several years of use) but bad crimps and poorly connected screw down terminals turn out to be the source of voltage drops and melted terminals all the time on this forum. They use that type connector not because of the conductivity of solder but because it is secure and easy and consistant. [/QUOTE]
