Regarding the soldering. Was done with a cheap 60W conrad Iron, I think a 100w one would've been better. In the middle where I joined the cells, there is a piece of copper under the solder blob.

Regarding safety: I put several layers of tape everywhere and bent up those paper insulation thingies so I couldn't short something accidently. Also the lipos were discharged and I did it right next to the open balcony door, just in case :)
Thanks! So you added a piece of copper there? I don't have a balcony, but I guess I can throw them out of the window :D.

Yeah, you're right, might not make so much difference in Resistance anyway, thing is... I've been telling everyone that 10AWG is for babies :).
