2025-12-31 (W) BonfireLaserTag Battery holder wiring

I was getting close to the end of my component wiring. The battery holders were tricky because I had to connect a couple of bolts at one end. My previous method was to loop some wire around the bolt in the far end and tighten a nut onto it. I wanted to try soldering directly to the nut since looping was prone to loosening and difficult to position. I tried soldering to inexpensive steel nuts, but they would not accept solder. I tried filing down a corner and using liberal amounts of flux, but nothing stuck until I switched to brass nuts. Soldering nuts directly to bare wire made the installation less stressful because I could quickly position the fasteners with the wire tail and secure them once I got the wire situated in the conductor groove.
