Question Revoelectrix PS to iCharger 4010 duo connection question

I just got a Revoelectrix 24V/55A Powerstation to power my iCharger 4010 duo. The PS has screw connections on the 24V side that the instructions say can accept alligator clips (really?!), bullet connectors (4mm), or clamping stripped/tinned wires into the screw terminals. Which one is best? The bullet connectors seem like the cleanest way to make the connection, but perhaps the "clamped wire" option will handle more load.

Clamped wire is the way to go. Alligator clips are for low current applications.

I assume I should strip enough wire so that only wire, and not any insulation, is under the clamp?
