I don't believe for a moment that any crimped joint is "gas tight". And I don't believe a crimped large cable is ever better than solder, even though I agree that good crimped lugs make fine battery cables.u do your battery cables, find good heatshrink with adhesive on the ID.
I agree with the Gas Tight comment.
However which is better Solder or Crimp... Depends on the install. Most of what I play with solder is the standard.. I don't do Aircraft however where CRIMPED is the standard... WHY.
SOldering "Stiffens" the wire and vibration breaks a "Stiff' Wire.
OR so they tell me. but the important phrase is I DO NOT DO AIRCRAFT.
(Though I may some day do the small Aircraft. You know. the kind you can hold in your hands)
