I've also been fairly successful with soldering wires onto the cells.
However, some cells use a stainless can, which won't solder. For
battery pack rebuilds, there's sometime not enough room for the
inevitable "lump" formed when soldering wires. That's not the case
with spot welded tabs, which lie flat.

I usually cut off the spot welded tabs from the old ones and solder these.
But don't know how LiIon react to heat. You've got to solder quickly with
other types to avoid damage.
