Finally got around to making the Anderson connection and with only 25sqmm in a 175 amp lug it is a loose fit so plenty of solder needs to go in. I used one of my stands to hold the wire nice and upright and got a good solder joint done.
Then onto the positive cable and on stripping the end I went WTF
water damaged cable that in noway will suck up any solder.So back to the 12 volt shop where they made me a new cable with a 6mm hole in the lug and gave me a pair of 25sqmm x 6mm lugs for free.
So in the morning the negative lead will get a 6mm lug cause as far as a M5 bolt securing a lug with a 10mm hole doesn't appeal to lasting.I do have my old Fluke 865 scope meter so I will use that for setting the voltage and looking at the waveform to make sure it's running properly.
