Got my self some new super duper 70mm sq flexible battery lead. Its at least 3 times thicker than the existing leads and not 30 years old so i'm hoping for a significant increase in cranking speed.
Not wishing to open a can of worms but what it the collective wisdom on here regarding fitting lugs to the lead, I would be happy soldering (with the blowlamp) lugs onto it, however I am mindful of the recent thread where it was pointed out that for thinner wires it can lead to a fracture point as the wire will lose it flexibility where it has been soldered - therefore crimping is better?
Battery connectors I've got are the clamp down type - solder and clamp or just clamp, or clamp then solder it up?
What do we think people?
