Also I will list the brands of lipos I have already repaired, and should not have any trouble with.

Any enerland cell based pack (ie, polyquest, polyrc, flightpower, neuenergy, hyperion, etc)

Maxamps (all)

Zippy

Thunderpower

Venom

Most chinese packs

All of these use aluminum or copper tabs and I have the required products to solder to them.

I generally protect the ends of the lipo with something solid, such as thin sheet plastic. I also completely wrap the pack in clear tape. This holds everything together, prevents cell shifting, and gives the pack a bit more protection. I use black shrink as I can get it easily, and most like the look of it.

Note: I recently had a protek pack sent to me with a puffed cell. They encase the contact end of the lipo with some sort of nasty glue. I was able to remove enough of this stuff to access the solder tabs and balancer wiring, but it was a bitch. So I charge a bit more for those packs and cannot gaurante that I can fix them, as the glue is much stronger than the al tab. This is delicate work and that glue needs a bit of muscle to remove.
