heat shrink ?

The trouble with glueing is if you develop a bad cell, it is harder to replace it. I just use a battery jig to solder the cells. Then use shrinkwrap and it comes out straight every time...

this is true. for me though, if i have one bad cell, i replace them all. I never liked running a newer cell with ones that have already been run for awhile.

That makes sense. But sometimes people have their "bashing packs" where cell-matching is not important. It just means that when the pack dies, there will still be one good cell left. It's not like you're trying to replace a bad cell in a lipo pack where it is much more important to have matching sets, especially if in a parallel group.

I agree with you brian totally. I just never screwed with them like that...never too much about doing it and kinda never liked the idea as well. I know it can be done and is good to do with a basher pack. More worth it than dumping the whole batt
