Default Re: Duralast 6V Golf Cart Batteries

Thanks again.
I think I will see if the place I am getting my batteries from has a set of 4 gauge shouldn't need any more than that. What is the reasoning behind the solder connections? Does it prohibit corrosion? Just wondering because if I can't find a set of 4 gauge I will probably make a set. I was planning to use some heat shrink on the crimped end of the lug.

The atmosphere in the battery compartment is corrosive and closed end soldered lugs are more air tight the the open end crimp on type.

Covering the gap between the insulation and lug with shrink tubing helps, but with the other end of the cable strands exposed at the open face of the lug, the strands are still exposed to the air.

Like I said, I'm old school. Some people use crimp on lugs, I just don't care for them in high current applications.
