Default Soldering Lipos

Today I was disconnnecting my lipo from the ESC when the negative lipo lead became disconnected from the lipo, I was not aware of putting any tension on the cable, it just seemed to drop off. Lucky it happened on the ground and not in the air!
Is it safe / practical to re-solder the lead to the lipo? I have not done it before and would appreciate any advice on how to best go about it. I usually use a small gas blowtorch for soldering connectors to cable as my electric iron seems to struggle to put out enough heat for heavy cable, but I am assuming the blowtorch would not be appropriate anywhere near a lipo.
