[QUOTE="fatboytyler, post: 8371928, member: 658624"] It does not matter what solder you use, although try not to use Acid Core because it will cause corrosion. Lead free Vs. Lead bearing is all about the health risks of soldering it. I personally prefer lead bearing because it has a lower melting point, thus not needing a flux. Silver bearing OR Rosin Core are the best for electrical purposes, most of which are lead free nowadays. I've used rosin core on most of my lugs and it works great. Use some paraffin (wax) for a flux and you're golden. I say solder all the lugs. Solder is cheap. Paraffin is cheap and will last you a while. Get something metal that you can clamp/hold the lugs with and get a blowtorch (I have a sweet little butane powered blowtorch and solder switchable tool) and you're set for life on lugs. [/QUOTE]
