    Howdy! Ben and All,

    As I was learning how to replace the BIOS/CMOS Battery in an old
    notebook I saw a video on Youtube that said YOU DON'T WANT TO
    SOLDER LEADS TO A LITHIUM BATTERY TO REPLACE THE ONE INSIDE A
    BATTERY MODULE.

    The video showed the new battery EXPLODING when the soldering iron
    was being used to solder a wire to it.

    Not Sorry about the ALL CAPS in the first paragraph, Please be careful.

    HTH

    GM Ed,

    was being used to solder a wire to it.

    It's doable. You just have to have a hot iron, and do the soldering
    very fast. If you have to solder on both sides of the cell, let it
    cool a bit between the operations.

    I've done it to both litium and NiCad cells.
    To be safe, wear protective glasses.

    Howdy! Ben and ALL,

    I forgot to add in my other message about Not Soldering a Wire to a
    Lithium battery, what I saw in the Youtube video that showed how to
    Replace a Lithium Cell in the old CMOS battery module.

    The fellow stripped and tinned the wires and Taped each one to the correct
    side of the Cell and then enclosed the wired cell in Heat Shrink Tubing.

    Then he Shrunk the tubing around the wired battery by blowing hot air
    to it.

    Cool, good stuff, thanks :)
