I'm planning on making some battery cables this weekend....never done it before.

I was planning on soldering the ends........ so do I use plain "regular" solder that you use for typical electrical stuff or is there something else I should use?

I was planning on doing the "place the end in the vise..... put some solder in....heat it up with a torch until it melts...shove the wire in" technique...... any tips?

I've also read on some boards that its better to crimp them than solder....heat etc melting the solder etc..... any opinions?
