The easiest thing to do is to get a screw terminal as a replacement. Basicaly you get your broken terminal off the lead, trim the insulation back by about an inch, slide the new terminal on the wire and then tighten up the two screws that grip the wire into the new terminal. Then refit the termainl onto the battery and you are all done. You can use a solder on type terminal which is basically the same, apart from you need to solder the lead in to the new terminal, rather than tighten any retaining screws.

If you are going to solder it think industrial size soldering kit!
Copper is a very good conductor of heat as well as electricity. Even a 100w iron was incapable of soldering jump leads to clips , I would guess a gas heated solder pot was required to tin the flexible multi strand cable first.
