I have one of the Cold Heat soldering tools. So far I haven't had a problem soldering wires for lights, circuit boards, etc.
Here's the site for it.

i've tried a couple of battery powered soldering irons and they
1) go through batteries like a vibrator at a lesbian convention
2) don't make enough heat to solder anything much bigger than telephone wires . forget about the wires going to your headlight or anything larger
butane is your best bet for portable
or you could get a 12v dc to 120v ac converter and run a real soldering iron off your battery for a while

I concur on a Butane Soldering Iron. I have one that has functioned for almost every soldering job for over 15 years - although I would guess they don't make 'em like they used to.
The home depot one looks pretty good for very cheap, but haven't tried it.

I actually have one like this without the case. Got it off the Mac Tool truck 15 or so years ago. Think I gave $25-30 for it. Works like a charm.
