Thread: Just a question about Lio-ion battery pack making?

    Question Just a question about Lio-ion battery pack making?

    Hello just a quick noob question what would be the best way to solder the wires to battery when making a PCB battery. I wondered if copper tape could do what is needed as that can fold and stick to the battery. I viewed the thread that shows how to make them but I want to know what to use other than a camera battery clip to connect the wires to the PCB. It is for a single cell 3.7v battery if that helps with my question.

    Key steps:

    1. Scratch the battery terminals with sandpaper or a file. You want a slightly roughened surface to solder.

    2. Apply solder flux. This will help get a good solder joint before you overheat the battery.

    3. Pretin your wire. If you're not already doing this for EVERY solder joint, please start.

    4. Use a hot iron. If your iron hasn't come up to temperature yet, then don't start. If you have an adjustable temp iron, consider dialing it up a bit.

    5. Test the connection afterwards by pulling gently. If it comes loose, start over.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    Thanks that's a good video as well now I know I don't need to waste some money on copper tape.
