Best way to crimp battery terminals

[Keith1138]

What is the best way to crimp battery terminals with out out an actual crimper?

Or does someone near concord have a crimper I could borrow one night this week.

I'm switching over to the military style terminals since my negative battery cable managed to vibrate loose enough to cause a grounding issue this weekend.

Bruh. I used the hammer style because it was cheap and they are still holding to this day.

Which crimper?

I need to get this done this week and the hammer style isn't in stock any where locally. I really don't want to spend 60 bucks on something I'll use for 3 crimps and not use for a few years.

I prefer marine style terminals and I solder lugs on the ends of the cables.

I have one of the plier crimpers that will do battery cables. Pm me if you want to borrow it one night

If there is a West coast marine near you, They have a station you can make cables at in the store. I'm sure they prefer you buy something from them but they have some good crimpers in the Steelecreek area of Charlotte.

I use military terminals as well, it's easy enough to solder on some copper connectors. I did this years ago on several of my vehicles, works great.
