As I may have mentioned I just retired from Enersys-Delaware which is a

Crimping is preferred to soldering.
Just make sure you get a good crimp. Most of their contacts require two
crimps.
Soldering is acceptable but you must absolutely insure you do not splash
any solder on the mating portion of the contacts. Since the contact are
silver plated, solder will degrade the connection.

No fair quoting the actual company! We can only
vaguely argue, here.
Just because Anderson (who makes the connectors) gives specific
instructions does not mean anyone has to follow them. G
