Rich....Easy on the heat too...too much on the terminals will damage the plate connection inside the cell. Soldering is an art, don't be too proud to ask someone who is good to do it for you. Oh yeah...should go without saying...don't use acid core plumbing solder, and be sure to tin the leads before you try to solder them to the terminals...most terminals are pretinned.
