Well, I would really rather solder the cells instead of using the spot welded bus bars that they come stock with. I know almost all battery companies advise against soldering their batteries, but NiMH's solder just fine, if you are quick. I have an 80 watt Weller iron, will that be quick enough to not heat up the A123's too bad, or is there other concerns I should be worried about when soldering?

Thanx,
Brijar!!!
