Does anyone have any experience in spot welding tabs onto lithium batteries? I understand that this method is much better than soldering (and safer too!). I think you need a “mini” spot welder (not the automotive type!) Any help or discussion would be appreciated.
Yes.
I go to Batteries Plus in Lewisville where they sell the batteries and will spot weld tabs on them for free.

Perfect! I’ll go and up there and talk to them. Thanks.
Or you could use the battery spot welder in electronics. The nickle strip is in the toolbox.

I was hoping Electronics had one! Where (about) is it located (the welder)?
I found the welder. The nickle strips are in the tool cabinet with the hand tools?

You will have to do some trial and error to get it right. Hopefully people have damaged the probes.
