crimping battery lug

I recently had a wire fall out of its improperly crimped lug connector in the battery compartment. Thought about repairing it but instead bought new cables online. Lugs are crimped on with a multi-ton press and covered with heat shrink tubing. Quality looks good so far.
WindyNation 4 AWG cables

Get my lugs and wire here (they do custom wire crimps too):

IMO solder is best for transistors, small wire and such.
