The easiest and Cheapest way I've found is it... heat up an xacto knife and break the bond between the battery and the pins holding together. Once the bond is broken, I remove the battery and place a new one in place of the old one. I then either black electrical tape the battery in place or hot glue. I've seen bad things happen to trying to solder a battery and it's cheaper than paying $.50 to $2.00 for a battery holder. |

Getting a clip on a cart and you won't EVER have to do anything except remove old battery > insert new one in the future. 1 second to change battery, 100% success guaranteed that way. I realize there's a risk. :) |

I highly recommend AGAINST doing it that way. NOT a permanent solution and is far more prone to failure. Also, nobody should ever be trying to solder directly to a battery >:( |

Never solder anything onto a battery, as it might explode :D Thankfully, I'm not a total r-tard. Yes, I prefer soldering the battery in, but not soldering THE battery :D And yeah, using tape is not reliable, tape will lose it's strength over the years and so the battery WILL lose connection, unlike soldering, which is 'permanent' :) |
