Just got the lipos for my new flux and they need to have the connectors fitted. I've never soldered connectors to batteries before, and don't want to destroy a few hundred in lipos. Is there anything special I need/have to do?

Just make sure you don't let the bare leads touch each other!! By doing them one at a time, you should be able to avoid that.

Only strip the insulation off of one wire at a time...solder the first wire to the connector, then heat shrink it. Then move on to the other wire.
