no,just solderd them like previous packs ive had,never had this problem before you raise an intresting point though because when you read the writing on cells it says no direct soldering on cells so i thought,how do they expect them to be put together so i then had a read of my (the buggy book ,by bill burkinshaw)from a bit back and he states soldering direct on cells should never be considered.back then when you wanted to knock up your own saddle packs,you bought a stick pack and cut the spot welded tags in half joing the cell ends together,and it was these tags that you soldered together again to rejoin cells in saddle pack formation.my point here is this avoided direct soldering on cell ends,so why dont the loose cells we buy now have pre spot welded tags on to help prevent cell's been damaged. thought it was worth raising the point.
