I just bought a benzomatic micro torch and I was hoping I'd be able to use it to repair some of my old lipo batteries. It comes with a medium sized soldering tip but it doesn't get hot enough to melt the solder on the battery. Just curious if anyone has used a torch for this purpose? I was thinking of taking the soldering tip off and just using it as a torch but I'm wondering if this is a dumb idea. I don't want the lipo to pop in my face !
I'm having a lot of trouble trying to heat up the solder on my turnigy packs so I can remove and replace cells. I had a 30 watt iron before and I made my own large soldering tip with some copper wire but it took forever to do and the tip lost effectiveness after a short time. Now I've got a butane torch but I haven't had any luck with it so far.
