Soldering batteries scares me too- I dont want to risk overheating the cells becuase my poopy iron doesnt get hot enough. However, if you have a 60-80watt iron then it is much easier, or so folks say; mine is 50watt so I need to do a test on an old spare cell I have, then I might concider re-doing my 7 cell packs into side by side packs so they lay completely flat. A123 cells are loveliness though, if only they were cheaper in the UK **grumbles**
