alright. i have a dell inspiron 1000 laptop and my dad is going to rebuild my battery..so he took it apart and told me to order new cells. and i found ones that look alot better... it says "High volumetric energy density well exceeding that of Lithium-ion batteries (HR-4/3AU and HR-4/3FAU)." and the cells that we took out are sanyo HR-4/3fau...which it says they are better than. so would it work? heres the link to them. http://shop3.outpost.com/product/2731853 ...any help would be much appreciated. :)
 
are those actually the type of cells that go into a laptop battery? i've never personally seen them before but i wouldn't have thought that they would be like the standard battery cells like you use in your tv remote
 
im not sure. thats what i was wondering...the inside of my battery looks like 8 AA batteries that were soldered together..
 
the batterys are not "soldered" , they are more than likely tack welded AND more than likely that was done to the ends or contacts BEFORE the battery was assembled. You can not solder a battery, it will explode before it gets hot enough to accept or melt solder. So if you are planning on doing soldering to a battery case, i would forget about it. You might try holding the wire inplace with a rubber band or elec tape , then cover with an epoxy like JB WELD.
 
i've soldered batteries and they never exploded... as long as you're quick theres no risk of it damaging the battery. if you hold the soldering iron on there for too long it will cause problems
 
right, you can solder a battery but avoid heating it too much. A lot of oem batteries will have soldering leads attached as well.
 
BAH ! the only way you can solder two wires , a wire to metal, is both peices have to be hot enough to melt solder on their own. Yes if you have a lead attached to the battery , obviously you can solder to that. I seriously doubt your claim that you have soldered to a battery terminal.
 
i dont feel the need to make up various things in my life i'm afraid... if you dont believe me when i say that i've soldered to a battery before then thats what you believe and i cant convince you otherwise.
