I recently obtained some Lithium Poly cells for use in a small plane. One of the tabs appears to be aluminum. In looking around the web, I find that "special solder" is needed in order to wire them. But, nowhere have I found what it should be and where it can be purchased. What is this stuff, what size iron is needed, and where can I get It?

I think it's called aluminum solder.

Just use tinning flux, and go for it with a lead silver tin solder.
Try here.....
Actually what is needed is special FLUX.
As I discovered.
Both cvheap batterypaclks
I had success using Carrs 'grey flux' and ordinary multicore.
I had a little trouble getting solder to stick, too, but I found if you use the flux carefully, tin the wire before you solder, and bend the tab from the battery over the wire, then you can get an acceptable job.
