Any copper or brass alloy connector can be soldered. I use 60/40 lead/tin rosin core solder (definitely NOT acid core) and a Propane torch. I buy cable in bulk on Ebay, and there's also a hammer-style terminal crimper available there. For the cost of a few custom-made cables, you can be set up to make bunches of them, any length you want. IMHO, anything bigger than about 1/0 gauge is overkill, especially if you use fine-strand welding cable instead of the wire with thicker individual wires. Electric current is carried mostly on the surface of a wire, so a conductor with a thousand fine strands has less resistance than the same gauge of wire with a hundred thicker ones. The fine-strand wire is also more flexible.
