I was taught that soldering is far better than crimp. What's your
thoughts?


As I may have mentioned I just retired from Enersys-Delaware which is
a major manufacturer of industrial batteries and I was in close
contact with the engineers at Anderson as we used their connectors
exclusively.

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.

That's why I use low temperature silver solder and clean any flux off
afterwards even if it's noncorrosive flux. ^_^
