So how can someone easily connect the batteries in the holder in parallel, on each battery holder, then connect three in series? (12ish volts) What kind of connector is on this and how do I wire it together properly? They just look like pins of some sort, can I order a connector for this so I don't have to solder?
If I have to solder, how am I supposed to do it without melting the plastic? I was gonna just stick a wire on each pin and connect them together or something . I assume that will be an issue heat wise. This is for a backup battery pack for a irrigation system I made with a 3 wire motorized valve and z wave relay and wiring box that I stuffed the electronics in.
I found some battery boxes that are preassembled but I wanted to figure out how to do this myself.
All the preassembled battery holders look like cheap phone chargers that might fail for any reason.
More importantly, I wanted to be able to take the batteries out without unscrewing a top piece. Here are the battery holders I'm talking about. I want to just take them out and put them all on a 16 cell battery charger/balancer I got online. Seems easier. It should last a month I think but If I charge it weekly it seems like a lvc or bms is unnecessary.

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but I just want advice on the most reliable efficient way to do this.
