Keith I agree with Gene. I just re-read your post. I posted some links last week for battery cable components on eBay. There is a trick to soldering terminals to cables, but it is not difficult at all.
Basically, get your cable stripped back so it goes all the in and just touches the bottom of the terminal. place the terminal in a vice, so that just a small portion of the terminal is in the vice, the furtherest away from the open end where the cable goes. Have the open end facing straight up.
Make sure that the cable and terminal are CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. Have your solder ready, and put flux in the opening. Also, dip the stripped end of the cable into the flux to get it coated. heat the terminal with your soldering torch, and melt your solder until the opening is approx. 1/2 full. Keep the heat going to the terminal, and with the solder melted, push/insert the cable into the terminal with the melted solder. Immediately remove the heat, and keep the cable straight and properly oriented into the terminal. As soon as the solder solidifies, you can let go of the cable. let cool, and clean excess flux from the terminal and cable. I then use liquid tape to carefully seal any exposed metal at the cable to terminal joint.
done.
ps. this also works for the lug that goes on the other end of the cable. same procedure.
