I wanted to ask opinions on this -

    I just got two new batteries for my AUL spectrum 14 light - the old =
batteries were dogs with only about 70 min of burn time.
    In getting ready to use these new batts, I discovered that soldering =
is a little harder than it looks. Is there any downside to using =
slide-on connectors to the battery terminals? I have the proper-sized =
connectors, that are crimped onto the wire, and slide on to the battery =
terminal, and hold firmly, but I have never seen anyone's cannister =
lights without soldered connections, so I was curious if there is a good =
reason not to.
