I didn't run the pack until after the 1 month warranty. I contacted hobbypartz and they basically said I was screwed.

I tried to solder the wire on but the aluminum tab coming out of the cell does not take well to solder. And with only less than 1/8 inch of tab I do not want to put to much heat into it. So I have a $66 paper weight.

I would not recommend the 4 cell to anyone.
I made mine into a 3 cell after the tab pulled off. I won't be buying any more 4 cells from gens ace
