I was told by the guy at Batteries Plus that you have to spot weld
the wires to the battery because soldering gets the battery too hot.
My Thinkpad 560x didn't have a battery holder included.


Screw that... Just install a battery holder for the darn thing so you
can swap it easily next time it dies.
