Hmm... Could you moke the Boe-Bot battery packs a bit stronger? I've already gone through 4. The wires keep breaking off the pack, and when I try and solder them back on to the pack, the close plastic area melts.

    If the plastic is melting then you are applying heat too long.· It's not easy to solder on something mounted to plastic, but it can be done.· At the same time you could request a replacement from our Tech Support Dept.

    Many electronic warehouses (digi-key, mouser, etc.) carry a nice line of all aluminum battery holders... check out
