Thanks for the info. I just wanted to make sure that thick of cable of
indeed able to be soldered onto a ring terminal. I bought heavy duty ring
terminals which are about 5 times as thick as normal ole ring terminals, and
are actually meant for battery cables; from Wrangler Power Products. I just
wanted to make sure this was 'do-able' before I cut the cable off of the
stock battery terminals and got myself into a problem. Thanks again,
Kyle
