In response to the first reply post, yes I have the flux. I tried your tip of letting the iron sit plugged in for a bit and then dipping the tip into the flux. It seemed to take to it well smoking up a storm. I then tried applying the solder to the tip of the iron to tin it. Still acting just the same the solder just bubbles up and repels itself away from the tip of the iron. I can't get the solder to go onto the iron.

Someone else wanted to know the type of solder that I am using. It's from Radio Shack (60/40 Rosin-Core solder .032 diameter). A friend suggested holding the iron on the underside of the joint and trying to thread the solder in between all the wires. Tried this but do to everything else not working didn't get any results.

I'm doing this soldering so that I can charge battery packs while connected to a balancer. I have the option of just plugging the batteries to the balancer after charging separately. I have another post in this forum listing about the fact that I can't get that to work either. I guess this is not my week for this stuff. Just thought I would mention that on here in case one of you guys happpens to use the LBA - 10 balancer from Hyperion.
