Rapid Electronics do them at what looks like decent prices.

Thanks, the price certainly looks right. My only concern is contact
resistance - each cell only produces 0.45V, and I can see a lot of that
being lost in all those bus-bar-terminal interfaces. Experience with bike
lights has made me wary connections in low-voltage systems. I may buy a
couple and see if they can be soldered.


They certainly look like the connections are adequate. And being copper
can be easily soldered. Dunno if a heatsink might be required though, if
they're easily damaged by heat.
