Re: Power/Battery Cable Routing Suggestions

Soldering after you crimp is also not a good idea. The whole point of a crimp is to connect the wire to the terminal with a gas-tight connection. If you crimp it properly, then soldering will not add anything to the reliability of the connection. It will, however, increase stress on the wire at the joint, running the risk of breaking wire strands.
