They can make good quality stuff in Chinea, if you are willing to pay for it. Have you ever seen the inside on an Apple Mac notebook? Most other companies will laminate a very thin layer of metal

Re: "welding"

Could you use one of those welders made for welding wires onto Lithinum Ion cells?
Search for "battery spot welder" on ebay or wherever
