Also i dont think you need flux i have alwaysused multicore solder and i have never had a pack of cells fall apart on my and never had a bad connection. But if your used to using flux use it. And a big tipped soldering iron is essencial thats why i got my big iron it gets so hot you can feel it just sitting buy it.

Dude, why don't you listen to people with far more experience than you at soldering in general and building battery packs in general. The flux allows the solder to flow more freely, adhere better to the surface, and also helps reduce oxidisation.
yes you can solder cells without flux, but it is far better to use it, if it wasn't, I wouldn't recomend it
