I solder mine and do not crimp, have not had a problem with any of the multitude of Anderson Power Pole connectors or larger lugs.

I have had several problems with crimped cables and corrosion on the battery lugs and inverter lugs. I have seen the green corrosion travel several inches up inside the cable. So what I do now is put the lug in a vise upright so the solder can melt in the cup and heat the lug, solder and cable with a propane torch at the same time then stick the cable end into the melted solder. When cool I put heat shrink around the cable end. It is more work than a crimp but it has eliminated the corrosion for me.

Exactly!!!
I doesn't get any better than that. I do that to all my connections the same way. Probably 3X better transfer of electons/transfer area. Plus corrosion can't get between the wire and connector if there is no pressure crimp.
