I've got some information from other forum. They told me to use higher watt soldering gun(higher than 80 W). It makes sense to use high watt because the negatives generally have larger surface so the heat will dissipate quicker. I think I will buy 100 watt soldering gun to see if it works. But one guy told me he can use 40W to solder cells. well I don't know how he did it

I'll have to try that technique on my next pack and see how it does.
