At the very least I hope you can still answer questions for us on lipo repair. Such as if all I'm doing is replacing a balance tap can I just heat up the solder thats there and get the new wire to stick? otherwise I'm prolly just gonna solder a new tap on outside the pack.

If the tab already has solder you can just add a bit of regular 60/40 and replace the wire. Special flux/solder is only needed if the tab is bare al.

My big iron is a wall 180 watt gun type, you can also get it at sears as their craftsman brand. Now I use a 40 watt pencil type with a wide screwdriver style tip for doing al tabs, as the zinc solder and flux is hard on tips. I also have a 40 watt weller solder station that is great for smaller jobs.
