The strands are now shiny clean, and the cable has been pre-bent the way it will need to be after the terminal is installed & attached to the battery. Additionally, there is enough slack in the cable to allow the bare end to naturally rest pointing straight DOWN at a location easily accessible with the torch.

With the wire(s) pointing down, the battery terminal socket will point up, so the liquid solder won't run out.
