I recently obtained some Lithium Poly cells for use in a small plane.
One of the tabs appears to be aluminum. In looking around the web,
I find that "special solder" is needed in order to wire them. But,
nowhere have I found what it should be and where it can be purchased.
What is this stuff, what size iron is needed, and where can I get It?

I think it's called aluminum solder.

Just use tinning flux, and go for it with a lead silver tin solder.

Actually what is needed is special FLUX.

As I discovered.

Both cvheap batterypaclks (www.cheapbatterypacks.com)and
www.aircraft-world.com sell specail al solder paste.

I had success using Carrs 'grey flux' and ordinary multicore.

I had a little trouble getting solder to stick, too, but I found if you use
the flux carefully, tin the wire before you solder, and bend the tab from
the battery over the wire, then you can get an acceptable job.
