Any way to solder Li-Ion batteries with nickel strips WITHOUT buying a spot welder from China?
Heat kills Li-Ion batteries, right?

Spot welding batteries is done by closely spaced flat electrodes with both on the tab to be welded, not one on the battery terminal and one on the tab.
Though it does make me wonder if I could re-purpose an old audiophile cap. The 1 Farad ones that are used for stabilizing automotive power in competition setups.

I suspect his tips were a little too sharp, also switching pulses with relays is just silly.

Skip to 21:50, apparently you can just use a soldering gun with a very hot tip, as long as you solder quickly and cool the battery immediately after.
