Re: 2 or 4 gauge wire
I made up some cables from #2 stranded and even soldered the ends. Seems to have made a difference.

Re: 2 or 4 gauge wire
Welcome, nelly1052....or should I say 'Whoa, Nelly', don't forget to put some type of corrosive inhibitor on those pretty new cables....Soldered ends are the bomb, IMO

Re: 2 or 4 gauge wire
Another take on soldered terminals. Not my opinion just something I found as I research upgrading my cables. I have access at work to cables, terminals and a crimping tool so I am trying to determine the best way to make them.
We have determined through 40 years of independent research along with the recommendations of electrical engineers that soldered lugs are NOT better. Solder is actually used to bond the strands to the barrel in cases where a less desirable or even wrong cripming tool is used. Solder (of any kind) also adds excess resistance into the cable, causes heat and that is exactly oppositive of the desired effect for any electric vehicle. If the proper 4 way crimping tool is used, solder is not needed and is actually a hinderance to optimal electric vehicle performance. A quick resistance test on soldered vs. non-soldered cable will prove this theory correct beyond any shadow of a doubt. |

Re: 2 or 4 gauge wire
He kept on doing the research until he got the results he wanted. By then his cables were older, and you know the rest....
