Small Scale Battery Soldering

 The battery died in my tiny DSO Oscilloscope.  Opening it up showed a 1S LiPo of undetermined amperage.  Pay close attention to the smallness of the battery wires!

I had a spare 1S battery.  It was fitted with a JST connector, so I snipped that off.  The wires were huge compared to the old battery.

I'm pleased to say I got it soldered with no problem.  It's the closest work I've ever done with a live battery and I'm happy to say nothing was shorted. I was really sweating it out though!

I'm putting this picture up partly as reference for battery orientation, and partly coz I'm pleased with being able to make this connection successfully.

DSO Nano 2 Oscilloscope notes

Santa just arrived from a side trip to Hong Kong and dropped off my new oscilloscope.  It's pretty low-end, but I already used it to solve a problem with my new Ardupilot 2 board, so no complaint from me!
