A method of configuring a soldering device includes the steps of purchasing (or offering for sale) a soldering device package including a handle, a power cartridge containing an AA battery, a power cartridge containing a lithium ion battery, and a power cartridge containing a nickel-hydride battery; selecting (or instructing a user to select) one of the three power cartridges from the purchased soldering device package for use with the handle to form a soldering device; and inserting the selected power cartridge in the handle to form a soldering device. The selecting step includes selecting one of the three power cartridges based on a specific use of the soldering device and based on soldering performance requirements of the specific use and based on operating times and relative costs of the power cartridges.
A method of configuring a soldering device, the method comprising:
The method of claim 31, wherein each power cartridge includes a circuit board for controlling electrical power delivered from the power cartridge to a soldering tip of the soldering device.
The method of claim 32, wherein the circuit board cycles the electrical power delivered from the power cartridge to the soldering tip depending upon a required input power of said cartridge soldering tip.
A method of configuring a soldering device, the method comprising:
The method of claim 34, wherein each power cartridge includes a circuit board for controlling electrical power delivered from the power cartridge to a soldering tip of the soldering device.
The method of claim 35, wherein the circuit board cycles the electrical power delivered from the power cartridge to the soldering tip depending upon a required input power of said cartridge soldering tip.
