      the first time i was soldering i tryed to do a led kit for my bit char and exploded the battery that was a year ago and i bought 4 20mah 1.2v nimhs so the other day i decided i was going to hook up the dual cell so last night i started it and after about 5 times having to go back and redo because of finding out the solder didnt stick i finally finished even though i massacured the batterys it was a learning experiance and i finally got it right even though it looks like something that comes out of your ass the end hehe

      well i am waiting to get my stand alone charger but it works on the normal charger and when right after i finished making it, it was outside of the battery and then i put it in a Lxx for testing dont want to mess up my beloved rx7 and when i made the circut it would run on its own like a crazy mofo…wierd so then i put it in my rx7 and when i attach it to the basic charger i can get it to run while on the charger so i think it will work heh 😀

      For future Reference:
      DONT HEAT THE BATTERY, WHEN SOLDERING BATTERIES TRY TO SOLDER IT AS FAST AS YOU CAN OR YOU WILL COMPLETELY RUIN THE BATTERY.

      Tips for soldering batteries:

      -Use a very high wattage iron with alot of heat, this makes soldering process faster and minimises damage to the cell.

      -When solder joint is complete, wait till solder joint is solid again and cool the cell with an ice pack etc.

      -Try to do it as fast as possible, if you fail to make a satisfactory joint, cool the cell and try again.

      Those tiny batteries are hopless for high current draw, and wont work in a bcg.
