I didn't solder anything because I didn't know how. The ones I purchased were quite large. Make battery leads by using welding cable. I suppose you could solder, but I just paid $15 for the hammer crimps and they're perfect, plus I bought heavy duty heat shrink and heat shrunk the terminal connection. My Cummins have been on the road for two years and still look brand new. All of the supplies were purchased through Amazon. If you decide to go with heat shrink, make sure you know how thick the shrink will be. There's some thin, cheap foreign-made clothing that I didn't like.
The hole will be slightly larger than 1/4" for clearance. 1/4" means it's for 1/4" studs.
For everyday use, a standard lug thickness is sufficient. They're what I use to connect the batteries and other equipment.

crimp. Using a vise tool and a 5"-diameter piece of wood, These lugs take a lot of crimp pressure without tearing open or cracking in a 6" vise. If you need a different angle from straight, bend the lug a little. on, with care, a vise, and some heat (but not too much heat, as you don't want to oxidize the surface or compromise the tin coating).
I enjoy having the appropriate component for the job. These are the best out there and work great in my boat. The cheap stuff will work for a while, but it will corrode at some point, usually when you least expect it. These are very durable and work well in a marine environment. If you're working in a marine environment, I recommend using Ancor's adhesive lined heat shrink tubing. Although it is more expensive, you should have no issues if you do so.
They're a little on the pricey side, but they're of excellent quality. On my 1997 LX450 (Land Cruiser), I installed dual batteries using a combination of Anchor and Bluesea components.
And, before you say anything, I did take great care not to overtwist or bunch the strands. Maybe it'll fit on a lower-strand-count power cable? The hole should, in any case, be a little larger.
For boats, An or products are the best.
Great, but the price is a bit high, and you should keep track of how many you order. Don't let the wording fool you. In the end, I had three packs of two.
For my Motor Home House Battery Bank and inverter relocation, I used to make battery cables. My Hydraulic Crimping Tool liked it a lot.
