bishbashbosh Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 What soldering iron is recommended for soldering new battery connectors? I'm struggling to get it hot enough to flow solder through the wiring on my new 3S 5000mah 30c lipo Did try to search but couldn't find much info on here but would hope there's some threads about it somewhere?

Kpowell911 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 You need in my opinion a decent 100w+ iron to solder batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazp1976 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Sealey 100w is what I'd normally use. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-SD100-Soldering-Iron-100w-230v-/272359890254?hash=item3f69ea1d4e:g:xCMAAOSwGtRXxznd And solder with flux in the core.

HellaFlush Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 As above. Also please stay away from the devil's lead free solder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Appropriate size tip for size of wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I use an Iroda Solder Pro 50 gas iron for pretty much everything, tips wear fast at high temps and a pack of 5 is £17 but will last you for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
