Yes sir! Right away sir... lol
. I took your advice (
as well as the advise of various YouTube videos) and bought regular lead/tin solder.
As far as a higher temp soldering iron... the soldering iron box says 860 degrees Fahrenheit. (
is that not hot enough?)

Unfortunately I read your post a little too late, no big deal... I did all my soldering in the garage with the door open. Their was a constant breeze which for the most part kept the poison (
i mean smoke) out of my face.
6/4 Update:
I bought:
1x - 700c rim tape
3x - 700x42 inner tubes
1x - 22 AWG spool of wire for the BMS
I was pretty busy this weekend assembling the LiFePo4 cells. I am not done with them yet, but I made major progress. I still need to add the positive and negative leads to each 'pack'. When complete I will crimp the positive and negative ends of the LiFePo4 'packs' with the copper connectors pictured below.
Lastly, I cut all the positive and negative cables to length, stripped one of the ends, and tinned it.
See pictures below
