Well I decided that soldering it was probably the best solution right then. So I pulled the battery lugs off (rather easily I might add :-/ ) spread the wire out a bit, meshed the two pieces together, and soldered the joint with a propane torch (a full sized one not a mini one, big ol 12" flame on that sucker)
For last minute work it came out nice, I would be more confident in that than the battery lugs. For some reason I have an immense disliking for non-soldered joints. Maybe it is just all the hobby electronics I do...

just as long as you know how to solder (ex) dont use a puny 20W iron for 6 guage), it might not be as efficient or flexible but it will be solid
