BFL13, be careful about rising temperatures because of sustained high inverter loads with this type of terminal. Some of these terminals are from Chinese manufacturers who use high percentages of zinc in their brass formulations. They'll start a Nissan engine fine, but heavy sustained inverter loads are suspect. I would be suspicious until the terminals were proofed. I've also seen ALUMINUM FLASHED high zinc terminals of this sort and I don't think I need to elaborate on that point. Low oxygen copper cannot be used successfully because of the small mass and needed spring and you can be damned sure the Chinese are not going to use Beryllium Copper for these clamps.
I am not saying "No". I am suggesting to use caution until you're assured your terminals from your Chinese factory are going to be reliable.
