Stick Pack Construction

[Martin-Barbour]

Hi,

Anyone know if you cells in a 'cheaper' stick pack are soldered together or just held together with the two plastic end plates and shrink wrap?
I know that there must be a link between the bottom two cells (3-4), I'm talking about the four connections between cells 1-2-3 and 4-5-6.

I'm tempted to take mine apart and build a saddle pack but it could be a costly mistake if it's soldered as I won't be able to de-solder it....

Cheers
