I use the spade lugs on my lights and have never had any trouble. Just check
them periodically or they get wet. If they start to corrode, replace them -
big deal!

Subject: soldering light batteries


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.
