I'm pretty sure you screwed up on soldering. Were you using electrical or plumbing soldering? If plumbing soldering, that would be a gross error as the connection will eventually corrode. Also, power connections should always, always be crimped unless it is a true weld connection. The reason is the solder's significantly lower melting point than copper is creating essentially a fuze by the lower melting point of solder. At least that is what NASA and Space Force engineers tell me. I know a few through the amateur radio community. In 10-20yrs you may know where to look for a failure point. Of course I am sure a lot the discussion is based upon plumbing solder typically having an acid core. If the solder is not acid core then you will probably be ok as far as corrosion.

Thank you for the heads up BP! I’ll go back and crimp them.
