A tag has just broken off a cell, wasn't welded on properly... (What chance do I stand!)
Will order three new cells with tags, start again.
The tags are 0.15mm thick by 5mm wide, which gives a cross sectional area of 0.75 square mm (Can't do superscript here I don't think?) The material is nickel plated steel, higher resistance than copper. 1 square mm copper wire should be well able to handle the current, yet be pliable and small enough to install.
Can't solder directly to the cells because it will melt the plastic internals and possibly cause an explosion and fire.
