simpler method and cheaper than
http://www.battrx.com/my method uses a special adapter so
you use my cartridges or make them yourself
from Bruce's batteries that he might have sent you .
this is a holder that I make from fiberglas instead of PVC
tubes, eliminating the bulky PVC tubes.
More information forthcoming ....
you will notice their warning about soldering these batteries
(quote) ATTENTION:
FACT: Heat destroys batteries.
FACT: Electronic soldering requires temperatures above 600ºF.
FACT: Internal battery temperatures of 160ºF can and will cause Thermal Runaway--you've seen it; leaking, distended batteries that ruin whatever they touch.
Conclusion:
Soldering requires heat

Heat destroys batteries.

true heat will destroy the battery.....excessive heat that is
......but I solder the negative end the whole shell absorbs the small amount that I use to
spot solder the tab to the bottom of the can......first I tin the tab and flux the spot which
I intend to solder to ....next I press the soldering iron to the top of the tab and heating the
tab just long enough to melt the solder on the tab then quickly press the tab down for one second
then rock the edge of the soldering iron on the tab and the tab instantly cools down and allows the
joint to set .....and wetting my finger on a wet cloth and touching the joint The heat of the joint
has already been absorbed by the "heat sink" of the entire cell can. It's actually cooler than your hand.
So where is all this awful heat they are talking about ?
