So how do I fix the problem? if you can't see it, what it is is the metal expanded from the heat. It doesn't want to stick to the solder. Is there any advice?

I'm no expert, have never soldered and am sure you've tried this, but did you try using flux then re-tinning all the connections?

I have.... :/

If those are cylindrical cells with tabs, then you desoldered the tab. You can solder it back on but I wouldn't. Its very dangerous and could damage the battery.

So should I get new ones? Also, is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Solder quickly to the edge of the tab.

sand/file the tab so it's rough, it's easier to solder to then.

The tab didn't break. A part before it did.... Sadly, my camera isn't that good, so I can't show any pics of it.

Ok, I just viewed that "The Preview for Fox64" link in your sig and it had nothing to do with anything
