I soldered to 3.6 lithum batteries today for my Meg. When I test them on the volt meter I get 7.2vdc, and when I put them in the Meg I only get a reading of 6.5v. Does anyone know why that is?

You should not be soldering batteries. If you need to make a battery pack you should be spot welding them together.

Batteries get damaged when you heat them with a soldering iron.
