Hi,
I am 32 years of age and I have a confession to make. I have just soldered my first bit of wire! Oh joy of all joys. I am now well and truly a member of the 'i can solder my own wires' brigade

Thanks so much to Mike for showing me how to do it with this how-to:

I soldered a pair of banana plugs to one end and crocodile clips to the other end of a piece of wire. This was done to enable me to charge stuff at the field with my field charger
