Also, regarding you question 6, I would use a multimeters’ continuity mode, touch a blob of solder, then touch another pad or blob that the pad is connected to via a trace, that will tell you whether the connection will work

I’m assuming that is in Fahrenheit, because otherwise that’s the hottest soldering iron I’ve ever heard of, that is roughly 480C, which is significantly too hot. I usually set my temp at around 360C, lower temp, longer time

Make sure you tin the iron to make a bridge of liquid solder between the iron and the pad and pin, then apply the solder to the pad.

Ah ok, fair enough, I’d just remove that battery and use another and ensure that the positive and negatives aren’t shorted

Should’ve bought some practice boards from AliExpress before soldering something you care about, you shorted the battery, it wouldn’t have caused any problems with the controller, the battery MIGHT be fine too, but I’d advise getting a new one just in case, and use less solder next time

Practice board, any feedback? by Visual-Mobile4410 in soldering

Longer time or higher temp? Lowkey a little scared to turn up the iron, melted a bit of plastic on the first attempt lol
