I was thinking about using solder ...but was worried that the heat required to get it to stick to the batt would damage it ... how did you get that to work .. have you tried to remove one yet ?
Just another battery post

Yeah, I used an SMT hot air gun with a tip just a little larger than the hole to heat the area around the hole to 350 quickly. And I used a 210 deg silver solder. Removal is easy. Couple seconds with the heat gun and hit it with the sucker.
I wouldn't stay on it more than 5-7 seconds - typical battery soldering recommendations apply, but it's safer because the aluminum bleeds the heat quickly.

I figured there would be specialized equipment involved ... I [did] a lot of wire soldering in my day (automotive/custom computer harnesses) but never acquired that level of equipment. Although my stepson does some board level repairs in his business...may have to hit him up see what hes got..
Otherwise guess ill stick with my epoxy..The stuff I use seems to be removable, but messy to work with
Interested in some paid modification work ... Not that it seems like you have time for that ...just thought Id ask?
We can move over to PM if you like, but you're right that time's a bit on the scarce side. I'm happy to help where I can.
I use an Aoyue 2710+ ESD-safe hot-air rework station as my primary. I also have a more expensive Pace, but like the Aoyue better (believe it or not). I also have a small modified oven for reflow work, digital temp control with custom board. Beyond that, I can do capture to 3Ghz, 32 channels of logic to 2Ghz, RF to 24Ghz, DVMM to 6.5 places, and freq. gen from 1hz to 6Ghz, 30hz+ in a continuous sweep. The home lab is reasonably well set for most projects.
