Yeah I would think hard before attempting to weld anything on it. You might get away with drilling a hole and tapping it. Again I would be really careful unless you know how thick the material is there. The only other options I see are to try to use a super strong conductive epoxy, I have doubts if it will hold up long term. Or make some kind of clamp something you can tighten on to the cap. I have a few ideas. None are probably worth doing. It would be cheaper and easier probably to scrap the cap. I guess it depends on what you feel comfortable doing. I would probably try to work with it, but I don’t feel comfortable recommending that.

according to Maxwell the only way to weld the bussbars to the caps is via Laser, Resistance, or Ultrasonic welding.  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MIG or TIG the bussbars on as you will blow through the outer shield of the cap.

 

best bet is to see if you can return them or sell them and reorder studded cells.

 

sorry bud.
