Steve, Thank you very much for posting. I hope it will generate some discussion and/or direction to some good reading material/articles. I was not aware that there were several method of conducting spot weld on material. I will try to identify the material leave/foil that I am working with.

Here they are: http://stevezeva.homestead.com/files/Batt-1.JPG http://stevezeva.homestead.com/files/Batt-Orange-1.jpg While I'm no expert on spot welds, I'm pretty sure you won't see any sort of "reflowed" appearance with a spot weld. You'll just see a mark or indentation of where the electrodes contact the metal. Have these battery terminals been falling off the batteries?
