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.

Soldering done correctly will have a good mechanical connection first even if it is just a linesman's splice. Then use heatshrink to weather proof it. Don't forget to slide the tubing over one of the wires first. Don't ask me how I know that. :S
I have had wire antennas up in
the air for almost 30 years with no problem using that technique.
It's going to be extremely hard to do that with battery cables!
