Ooh...
I've seen that page before, and that technique looks dangerous
(the soldering to the Li battery part).
The places I've been who supply large numbers of replacement batteries
all have a fancy welding rig which they can use to stick a set of bands on any battery, including lithium, by welding. Then
solder to that. It
may not be as pretty as some of the soldered approaches, but i agree
with you, I'm not going to apply solder heat to a lithium battery. It's
all about heat not temperature to make them explode.
Nor would I. But you can get lithium coin cells with PCB pins (which you
can solder to), or coil cell holders. I would use the latter if there was
space, it makes future repairs easier...
