Also get ride of those open style slit down the middle crimp ring terminals. Bigger risk of corrosion. Always use closed copper lugs. If you don't solder I like to throw a lil electrical grease all over the wire down to the sheilding before putting it on the wire before crimping. But great vid Jacob!
A torch works well but I prefer my heat gun. Also regular OFC will still corrode in the elements but the tinned OFC like you have is much more resistant to corrosion. Good vid. Frustrating when the torch runs out of fuel mid shrink lol. 👍
I use tinned ofc with a double layer of heat shrink . I apply heat with a heat gun and it make the connection solid. Hydraulic crimping is what works the best for my application.
Amazon has awesome 3 to 1 heat shrink. 2 4ft peices for 10 bucks. Red and black. Stuff is thiccc and has good glue in it. All different sizes

I agree, looks way better and shrinks more evenly with a heat gun. I got one at harbor freight for like $7 lol.

I use the thick 3-1 red and black from Amazon. Glue inside to seal out what you don't want in.
Is your wire color coordinated or do you just have a ton of grounds? love the vids man
Not color coded just got multiple 50ft wire packs amzn.to/3js0qiR and made it work for both power and ground.
Put the under hood limitless lithium battery
Not in budget at this time but good idea for others
Could you use a lighter?
Any hot flame could work yea lol
Turn the can upside down when you fill you torch
Noted thanks
👍👍👍
