All-

     The pictures are self  explanitory. Now I'll solder the joint just to be on the safe side. After  insulating boots come in from ACS, I'll install them over the terminals using  silicone grease, then seal the boot/cable insulation juncture with shrink wrap.  

     You know what? Take a close look  at my vise in "After crimp". If I took the regular jaws out to allow further  closing travel, I probably could have made the crimp using the vise  pipe holders!

FWIW: I used my nicropress crimper (the handheld  one used for swaging nicropress cable sleeves) to swage on my battery terminal  ends to their cables.  Has been working well for almost 3 1/2  years.

Bill,

Before you get the other end done, perhaps a short length of shrink wrap 

would be advisable to minimize the exposed copper and insulating end.

Tony-

     Never thought of it. Very good  idea, because the tool can go to the wire rather than the wire going  to a vise. 

     Little hints like this are what  deserve to be archived. Too bad we couldn't filter out all the negative crap in  the database. Thanks.

                                                                 Bill
