Swampy:
Now that Ive got some extra wires from my broken sla, Im gonna use them for the extra sla I have sitting around, but I have some questions. Im using the directions from here: http://www.marchingant.net/battpack.htm. I have a question about soldering the wires onto the batteries... On the site, it just says solder to terminal, but Im not exactly sure what I want to solder to. Should I put the wire through the hole??? How do you solder to the terminal? Does my question make sense??? FWIW, the terminals look like these: THANKS!!!!!!

nickgregory:
I cant see your picture, just the red x, but for the terminal, there is usuall a piece of metal sticking up both on the positive and negative end...solder to that.

Swampy:
right, they've got a little round hole in it, just solder over the hole? Terminals look like these... http://www.jkelectronics.com/prodpge/powersonic/pictures/612picture.htm

nickgregory:
the terminal is that piece of metal.  Solder to that...then once you have done that and let it cooled use electrical tape over it to seal it off and help keep the connection
