The guy in the vid must have a 10000 watt iron to do it that fast. I can barely get the end of the cell warm enough to melt solder... and I do not want to heat the entire cell to liquid hot...

I doubt the packs in the vid could hold up to a screwdriver prying the tabs up, that is my test when I make packs with bars.

The large tip is what really helps to as it "stores" more heat energy

Linc - just cause some batteries are pissing you off is no reason to give up on RC all together! Go get a truck and drive it, drive the hell out of it, always makes me feel better.

I watched a few shamwow parody vids AND FEEL MUCH BETTER.

I have 180 watt iron that has a 3/16" wide tip that is hot enough to push thru a hooker, ask how I know that....

No offense but if your such an expert then why aren't you doing this yourself rather than tormenting James with the task?

cause I'm a quadriplegic and don't feel like shorting out 30+volts (original plan was 10s)trying to get things together. I do all my own Ni-xx cells but was scared of these.
Good enough reason smartass.
