Make sure you use a powerful soldering iron (40-50W) or a gun.  It takes 
a lot of power to heat up the 12ga wire, solder, and connector.

My technique is to clamp the connector (mated for extra heat capacity), 
pre-tin the wire and the connector (should look like a bubble sitting on 
the flat surface), place the wire on the bubble, then press down with 
the iron until the wire melts through the bubble, then remove iron and 
hold wire there.  If you are burning your fingers, a wet rag works great.

Doing it poorly will cause voltage loss, not capacity loss.
