   EV> As I was learning how to replace the BIOS/CMOS Battery in an old   
   EV> notebook I saw a video on Youtube that said YOU DON'T WANT TO   
   EV> SOLDER LEADS TO A LITHIUM BATTERY TO REPLACE .......   
      
   EV> The video showed the new battery EXPLODING when the soldering iron   
   EV> was being used to solder a wire to it.   
      
   It's doable. You just have to have a hot iron, and do the soldering   
   very fast. If you have to solder on both sides of the cell, let it   
   cool a bit between the operations.   
      
   I've done it to both litium and NiCad cells.   
   To be safe, wear protective glasses.
