[Elecraft] OT: soldering leads to coin cell batteries

[John Ferguson]

Does anyone here have experience soldering leads to coin cell batteries?
My Compaq Armada M300 needs a new cmos battery.  the present one is a 2032 with 2 leads and a molex plug.

my scheme is to put the needle point on my trusty WTCP, remove the leads from the old battery, sand them and tin them and using the flux I used for the smt project, quickly as in QUICKLY touch the point to the leads.

Why not?
