Re: Cutting and stripping battery cables
Hi all,
Just a thought on the wattage of the iron.
We use an iron that is only 35-40 watts, but the tip is MASSIVE, like 1/2" in diameter, with a 5/16" chisel point.
This allows it to hold heat so it's not so much the wattage of the iron heating your joint, but the heat transfer from the big tip to your connector.
Remember to clean the tip and tin it, and work fast so as not to melt all the insulation off the wire as you are soldering.
Works great!
Good luck, and have fun playing the game,
Mike
