weller or hakko (or rebranded hakko, lots exist) would be a good all around soldering station. with VERY few exceptions, any soldering irons that don't have a base station are nearly unusable and junk. there are exceptions like I said, but very rare. you can get a nice hakko rebranded station for ~$50

if you have the money and will be using it a ton, you can't go wrong with a JBC. i have their modular series and they're top notch! but I'm into electronics as a hobby so it was worth every penny. would be excessive for just soldering the occasional battery connector
