Step 3 Magnets and wires

Magnets provide a "universal" way to connect to the battery.

From the 20 cm wires, remove about 2,5 cm of isolation. Make a loop around the mid section of the needle nose pliers. Reposition the loop between the ends of pliers and slide the wire through the loop, making a knot. Cut the short wire end even shorter to a couple of mm and bend it back parallel with the long wire end. Slide the wire through the hole of magnet. If your magnet has a cavity, press the knot into it. It does not matter if it slides back at this time, the zombie's arm will prevent that later on. Repeat with the second 20 cm wire and the second magnet.

If you do not get hold of magnets with holes in them, you might consider drilling holes yourselves. This is however quite difficult because magnets are very hard and quite of brittle. And it is a real pain to remove the chips, as these are of course all little magnets pulled towards the main magnet.
So, if you do not get hold of batteries with holes in them, soldering is the easier option. Nickled magnets solder reasonably well, but you have to put enough heat in them. You will probably put them on a steel surface to do the soldering. This works well but bear in mind that a massive piece of steel might drain to much heat from what you put in with your soldering iron.

^{I think you mean magnets with holes in them-- drilling holes in batteries sounds dangerous.}

I agree with him.

Indeed, I mixed up the words. I corrected it now. Thanks.
