I just thought I'd share in case anyone else has been using Orbtronic. In the past I never had any problems using them, and I have been using them for years. I recently picked up some cells for works in progress and found I could no longer solder to the button on the + end. Yes, I have tried roughing it up, flux, higher temp, etc, nothing worked. I believe they have switched to an alloy that resists soldering to intentionally prevent this. The website specifically says that you should not solder to the cell. (maybe it always did.)

Time to switch to welding.

i encounter the same issue, instead I have been soldering to the thin metal strip that runs from positive to the negative side. just cut back a little bit of the wrap to reveal the strip

I have looked into it. I'm running out of room for toys in my "spacious" Brooklyn apartment :cry:
