850F was for tinning the wires, as I stated I did start at a lower temperature and the wires didn't tin. For soldering the clips I used a normal temperature, I don't recall whether that was 700 or 750, it's whatever I normally use. If Garth's advice was that bad I'll just have to solder them again in 5 years I guess.

Follow Ups:
People always turn up the iron because they don't leave it in contact with the component/part for "long enough".
For litz wire, I place the iron tip (you can have a small amount of solder on if you want) on the stripped section on top of a non-flammable hard surface (actually I just use newspaper on a wooden table), press down for a couple of seconds and drag the iron tip down over the stripped wires. With my 750F tip, this gives tidy tinned wires. You could use a crucible, but that is overkill and potentially dangerous from a personal safety point of view!
You can follow whatever advice you want - I'm just passing on correct information according to industry-standard "Best Practice".
