Soldering instead of crimping
Hi, Would there be any reason not to solder battery connections versus crimping? The application would be for a solar charging system. Moved to Tech Issues forum from DIY.

Thoroughness is more important than type of connection. ive been an electrician and ive wired lots of accessories to fire trucks(which have tons of wiring). Ive seen tons of corroded and improperly crimped joints and ive had some of my own soldering fail. The key IMO is make sure connection is clean and well done. Love heat shrink! Here is a link to the crimpers i have and they make a well done crimp...however if it gets corroded...well you get the idea.

It was almost 300 i think 20 years ago. LOL id never recommend buying one but you get the idea that each crimp with the 5$ pair should be examined because the potential for frustration comes with every wire connection.
