    I found a couple cheap regulator boards (<1$) that fit on top of the cell, with the same diameter, with a button top, and wrapped them together.

    This just seems dangerous.

    Wouldn't be worthy of this sub if it was safe.

    I just add a blob of solder and it works quite well. Be careful to not overheat the cell though so a powerful iron is recommended for this.

    I needed it a bit higher than I could get solder to go...
