Only strip the one side of wire that you will solder to the battery to avoid shorting the other ends, to be extra careful I like to use some electrical tape on the other end of the wire. When using a single battery you only have to solder about 15cm of wire to both the positive (red/yellow wire) and negative (black wire) side. If you are unsure you can google the model number on the battery to confirm. On 18650 batteries your positive terminal is the side that is slightly raised with vent holes around and it has a slight ridge around the top and the negative is the plain flat part. Now that you've got the printed holder we can start to assemble it.įirst we need to add leads to our battery, to do this you need to pre-heat your soldering iron to make sure it is nice and hot.
