I agree with Frank: solder joints and their heat requirements are killers. If you're in a location with Nextdoor, the community communications app, just post a quick "DIY electronics help needed" post, and you'll find all sorts of helpful hobbyists eager to help put a voltage meter across the different points in the battery pack to locate any failure points, if that's where it's hiding.
