I wouldn't solder them. Asking for trouble there. If you should have a

Man, what the hell are you sailing, a diesel submarine? What kinda load

Lionheart uses crimp THEN solder connections. Crimp to make them
PHYSICALLY strong, then soldered to make them ELECTRICALLY strong and
corrosion-free. Of course, the electrical length of battery cables, at
least, is the same as their physical length...(c;
