Mike--
There are good reasons to choose welding over battery cable and with little
or no compromising of reliability, conductivity or safety.
However there is none to justify using cheap and crappy terminals which
invite corrosion, increase electrical resistance and hasten the day when
your car will fail to start or worse.
Best--Michael Oritt
