We use a soldering iron that runs a bit hotter than most, and has a large tip, for soldering lugs. Ours is a Hakko unit that is no longer sold, but the Hakko 456-16 iron, 60watts, 1110F, is equivalent. It is important that you do not clamp the lug in a vice, it will draw away needed heat.
If you need to solder lugs in the pits,
please remember that open flames are forbidden there.
