Problem with soldering lugs is that it can make the soldered joint brittle. With coach vibration, the wiring can break. That is the reason you don't find soldered connections in aircraft wiring.

I've held an FAA PMA license for electrical systems and a second license for aircraft starter motor and alternator rebuilding for 29 years.
It's good to have you back on the forums :)
Thats good to know, I feel much better now about my silver-soldered copper lugs!!
FWIW, after 10 yrs they’ve never given me even a hint of a problem, and I have little doubt that they help reduce dreaded (D.C. low voltage) voltage losses than can commonly occur across cumulative electrical connectors.
