One sees crimped connections a lot. I had always thought it was mainly quicker. I recall some of the cheapo battery cables year ago with large crimped ends. Corrosion would find its way in. But I do have a good crimper. I would clean the wire end well. A dab of dielectric grease after would probably be good.
