best way to cut 2G cable

[csport]

I had a customer come in to the shop today- (I am an Optician and we make safety glasses and specialty glasses- prescription shooting hunting, fishing motorcycle glasses)

I got talking with the guy and he works on electric fork lifts and battery powered equipment- 24 volt, 36 volt, and 48 volt-

I was picking his brain to see if another field had any other answers and he agrees with what all have said here on the board-

he did wish his customers would think like the board

I showed him the site and he was REALLY impressed with what all you guys build-

he always thought it would be cool to have a hot cart for the shop LOL-

he told me about a site WAYTEK that was half the price of ebay

he did get a big smile on a couple points, like " wow I never thought of that"

he said what you all have said- solder makes better connections better use of power, less wasted by corosion.

The guy said you will get the most out of your batteries with good connections-

he described it as watering your lawn with a real leaky hose, your leaky hose wastes water and bad wires waste energy

you should have heard him laugh when he saw Johnieb's hat , Gonorman outfit and kernels smile- LOL

this man was a whole lot different from the welding guys- who didn't really get it, except for the solder pellets

well I did order my stuff-

the 2g copper with tin coating- 2 g solder pellets and the shrink tubing-

this place had the kind with glue inside the shrink wrap- he said less moisture, less air, means less corrosion-

just like Porthole said- he was really looking at the hot go fast carts and the jacked up carts for his property in the country

maybe I got another convert

I cannot imagine what kind of spare parts this guy has at his disposal

thanks again guys
