Just a thought, here. Years ago I played around with electronics using bread boards and wire wrapping. The wire wrap causes a really tight bond, I was told, at the molecular level. I wonder if you can do something similar for connecting cells. At the very least, if you have several turns of wire, your solder will make a larger and stronger connection.
Done thousands and thousands of wire wrap connections. Remember, that most wire wrap stuff was working in the milli amp range. As for the connection, think about this. You have a square pin with normally solid wire wrapped around it. The only place that has any real tension holding the wire and pin together is at the corners of the square pin. At the corners, there is likely a pretty good amount of pressure holding them together, but it's a very small area of contact. Note that some wire wrap pins are round rather than square, so a wire wrapped around it would have a larger contact area, but at less tension.
