Are these any good

I bought them, but its taking forever to get here, I think by first week in September they might get here. When I get them, I still have no way of making physical connections when I get those holders in. A solution is just to solder onto battery itself with the holders using some nominal guage wire. I have a pipe soldering iron and a regular 100W adjustable iron. I now have a roll of Roen Core 63/37 Solder so I dont think I need to use flux, the other stuff I had was 93/7 which was no good even though it said electrical, but that was from Home Depot. What do I use to clean surfaces? Walmart had some 95% isopropyl alcohol in the first aid section, would brake cleaner work?
For alternatives, I went to Home Depot today and found some PVC 1" pipe but the batteries were very tight.
In the irrigation isle they had some pipe connectors that fit well but not long enough, at most can fit 2 in and they were $2.50 a unit.
I bought some 1/4" 2'x4' wood and some L brackets that I planned on making channels for 10 series broken up into 2 lanes of 5 each. If the holders dont work out.
I bought some Neo Magnets N50 6mm x 5mm on ebay and measurements fit perfectly on end of a123's, so I will cut a piece of 1/8 (3.1mm) wood for a divider and drill a 5mm hole in the middle and will go between each battery so the magnet doesnt move around and touch casing. I have 1/2" laminated I will use as the base. My concern is there will be no airflow over batteries.
Either way I still need to make a case out of wood, if I go the 26650 holders + solder way. I think if I am quick, the 63/37 will melt fast with a hot iron.
