Yup....spotwelded. Only way to safely connect the cells....generates very little heat which can damage the cell. That is why I recommend tabbed cells for rebuilds. PITA to have to disassemble that battery you just fixed to replace a cell that died due to too much heat. Andrew ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
