Running Cree Lights on rc-LiPo

[awol]

I want to run 2 or maybe even 3 cree lights and find the cheap batteries you get with them cutout really quick with a couple lights connected so am carrying 3 batteries for now.
I have a spare 2s LiPo battery so cut the discharge wire off an old rubbish chinese li-ion battery and soldered on a matching plug.

My concern is the the wires soldered into the plug being a bit thin.
What would be the max watts those small wires can take before they would melt or best way to test?
I could set a watt meter up to check each lights power use first to add up maybe.
Before I connect up, can anyone see a problem with 2 or 3 cree lights through those this wires?

Cree lights are about 1A each, so those wires will be OK.

i blew/ melted my switch cable @ 6-7a so 3-5 lights will be no problem if there 1a each.

Thanks, both answers good to know, I will connect together and try out over the weekend.
Also it's good to know about sw's switch as I bought one and was going to bin it when yours give up, so may be able to use it after all.
I am guessing I should get with 2 lights@1a about - 3 hrs
and 3 lights@1a about 2hrs
but this battery has a weak cell, hence why it was left unused so will test over the weekend.

the switch was fine but the cables melted in the connector end so chopped them off and used some odd bits i had to fix it.

i have a remote switch now but the max load for that is 6a

Just had an idea from another thread,
Could I plug this 8.4v 1a cree battery mains charger measuring 8.35v directly onto that 2s lipo battery discharge plug to charge it if I keep an eye on the balance of each cell? or will the battery blow the plug up?

cant see why not as can use mine to charge the cells in that case i have id keep an eye on it tho as mine got hot charging it at 1a.
