Ok, maybe a freezer isnt a good idea but what about the fridge? I've seen tons of people put their batteries in the fridge to prolong their life. The tissue paper idea sounds good. Also how do you do "solder prep?"-making sure that everything bonds and holds correctly. I still want to know if putting glue over the leads is a good idea.
No, putting glue over the leads is NOT a good idea. I thought I explained that, but I guess I forgot to address that in my last response...
Anyway, no matter what glue you use, it won't stick in the first place. You can't epoxy metal. Epoxy is also not conductive. If it flows around and under the wire, you have a wire that's sorta stuck to the cell until you look at it crosseyed, then the epoxy is insulating the wire from the battery.
