JumboJet... I know that you did it correctly... it's been a long time since I've seen anyone crimp and solder the lugs. You were trained well and know your stuff. We should all be so lucky. I would proudly follow your lead.
I bought my finely stranded copper wire from an audio shop for the few electrical projects that I have taken on. Inverters and PVSolar, multiple batteries, the trimetric shunt, etc.
I too use the shortest possible wires, crimp and solder the lugs.
Thanks
The entire time I was working with the 2 gauge AWG I was thinking I would really prefer to be working with some 2 gauge welding cable. I went on line to one of my favorite websites (McMaster Carr) and they have 2 gauge welding cable in both red and black. A little pricy, but for a job done right I don't mind spending a little extra. Next time.......
