Thanks
A few things to note as I've had friends ask me and even read mixed reviews:
1) When stripping the wire, make sure you use a quality wire stripper that is appropriately matched for the wire size. Using too small of a strip will certainly tear off the copper wires inside. Always start larger if you are unsure. One-click or single-hand strippers will sometimes pull out copper wires.
2) When soldering, make sure you heat your work (heat the wire). I've had nothing but success with these wires when it comes to lead and lead-free solder. If using leaded solder, make sure you take proper precautions.
3) When using butt connectors, choose the appropriate gauge butt for your wire. I've had success using a slightly smaller gauge connector on a gauge wire that is slightly larger but YMMV and depends on your amperage/current.
4) When heat shrinking, the outer skin (sheath) on this wire will bubble and discolor before burning. This is an indication that you've heated your heat shrink too hot near your wire but at least you get a heads up as opposed to the wire sheath just burning or flaking off as other brands will do.
My go-to splice consists of:
1) Slide a piece of heat shrink tube over the wire and out of the way of your work;
2) Strip and solder or butt connection your work;
3) If heat shrink butt connection, shrink the connection;
4) Slide your piece of heat shrink tube over the wire and shrink the tube.
You'll be left with a nice solid, water proof, clean looking, and protected connection.
My ring terminal install consists of:
1) Slide a piece of heat shrink tube over the wire and out of the way of your work;
2) Strip the wire and put this in the ring terminal;
3) Using a soldering iron or small torch, heat the terminal and wire taking care not to melt the sheath;
4) Place your solder in the terminal jacket ensuring your wire and terminal are partially filled with solder;
5) As soon as the solder has slightly cooled and the wire won't fall out under its own weight, crimp down hard on the terminal jacket while the metal and solder is soft from the heat;
6) Cool the work and test for strength (a few little tugs should suffice);
7) Slide your heat shrink over the terminal and wire then shrink it down.
You'll be left with a nice solid, clean looking, and protected connection.
Tidy this all up with some fire resistant wire sheathing/split tubing and enjoy.
