I have a 3s tc batt that didn't come with a balance connector (!). Its a problem if I want to keep using the batt... So i ordered a xh 3s balance lead and gonna try to solder them right onto the tabs ... internally. I have a soldering iron with adjustable temperature.
Safe, or stupid?
Cant say I have but Ive built my own NICD/NIMH packs with the old soldered on tabs before. Use a higher heat and work fast to tin the tab. Some flux will help get tin even if your using rosin core solder. These are little 20/22gauge wires for the balance so you shouldn't need alot of heat to make the connection.
