Thanks for your reply @gTunes, yes this is exactly the behavior and that’s a bummer. I’ll need to consider that option. Very helpful and much appreciated.

Thanks for your warning but this is not an issue here 
The Battery is a Lipo with wires and a connector already attached. The connector has to be replaced so heat is only applied to the wires and not to the battery itself.

Ahhh, apologies, I understand. I’ve had my share of battery soldering incidents is all.
Enjoy the rest of the holiday, but it’s not clear you understand the meaning of the word

Perhaps this is also a good solution: a solder seal wire connector. Is there anyone with experience with this?
