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.

Looked at the three links to crimpers but did not find any with a middle nib so guess it must not be a factor. The 3M did look like it might on the biggest opening. Still ever time I buy a item that has a good crimp seem to be better formed instead of mashed flat. Yea, I know, picky.
the sargent crimper (see link in previous post) has many inserts you can use. For non insulated "split" ring connectors, they have and I use one of the inserts that crimps the ring with the classic two simicircles onto the wires. nylon insulated connectors take a different crimp form as do the ones with heat shrink. I have about 10 jaw sets for the sargent crimper for different types of connectors. non insulated connectors that aren't "split" ring take yet another crimp form.
