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.

NYET on the "Naval Jelly". It's purpose is to convert one form of oxide to another.
Use a new razor sharp utility blade to scrape the strands to bright copper. You need to revolve the wire as you proceed to get all the oxides off. I use a paste flux after scraping. A few millions of successful soldered joints has convinced me I have not been doing this wrong in the last 50+ years. Zero failures sort of amplifies my conviction.
