How to solder Deans Ultra

How to solder Deans Ultra connectors to battery packs.

I developed this method learning as a 100% newb. It's by no means orthodox. It's MY method that i know works EVERY time. I tried orthodox methods repeatedly. There are plenty of those type of vids on you-tube. They did me no good.

whats the flux is that needed?

[revd]

@kawasakiman46 Personally i use Zinc Flux from Cheap Battery Packs .com Mostly because i solder to aluminum often and regular flux doesn't work on aluminum. Also when it burns it smells like peanut butter. (seriously)

@maestrosVIP Hope the vid was helpful and hope it went well :D

Not bad but a couple of extra tips from a RC professional ( I work in a hobby shop and do a lot of repairs) The flux is not necessary when using the proper solder such as rosin core solder in .030 diameter from Radio Shack. Also this is much easier to use than a large diameter solder in tight spaces. Also it is VERY important to "pre-tin". This means applying the iron to the metal surface and melting the solder with the metal, not the iron. This insures a solid grip on the metal surface.
