Still of you heat it too slow the plastic spacer might melt and you short the cell

I don’t think they are made of plastic, because it could melt and cause serious problems.
Or maybe they’re heat resistant plastic.
Either way, it doesn’t get that hot around there because the top has only 3 or four ‘legs’ going that way.
And i use a hot soldering iron so it’s just 3 seconds.

I can imagine a plastic is chosen with a higher glass temperature than the maximum operating temperature of the cell.

Thing is I am getting these cells specifically for the Q8, which as that will not be available for several more months means that shipping time is not an issue, plus I generally get stuff from China in around 12-20 days & the nkon shipping is up to 3 weeks (although it does state that it should be around a week).
I just wanted to make sure I had suitable cells before the Q8 became available & wondered if anyone could confirm that the cells I linked to were genuine.
These GA”s are even cheaper http://www.gearbest.com/batteries/pp_361930.html at about $4.38 each delivered.
Does the top protrude enough on these to make contact ?

We are still awaiting for an answer as to whether the GAs will work OK in the Q8 with their factory raised top (i.e. no solder or buttons required).

They will if they protrude, they won’t if they don’t.

All GAs have raised tops that should protude.

It seems obvious to me that it can withstand even higher temperatures, for obvious reasons.

It seems obvious to me that the isolation between top and shell / tube of the battery can withstand higher temperatures than the maximum operating temperature of the cell.
Probably a lot higher, and for obvious safety reasons.

But that’s actually kind of what you said too, but i didn’t read it too well, sorry…
