So, this copper braid you were using is basically a de-soldering braid? I never knew you could use them for soldering :D

I used the same de-soldering braid as what MetalMan used. It worked like a charm. I never thought to use it either before reading this thread.

Well, both my new packs charged well and ran strong. I ordered the shrink wrap from MaxAmps, along with some new red/black 12g noodle wire.

The coolest part about having done this the first time is that it will be 10 times easier, quicker, and cleaner the second time. Very cool.
