A male deans on a battery pack will lead to a short, maybe destroying the pack and causing a fire. Make sure you put the female connectors on your battery packs, and the male ones on your charger and ESCs. The technique for soldering a male one is exactly the same. This guide shows a female deans connector. You don't have to touch the iron on the heat shrink, just hold it near to it. Then slide the piece of heat shrink over the joint. (Red is +, black is -, the correct polarity is marked on most deans plugs, the top of the "T" is +) The solder may stay liquid for up to 10 seconds. Once they have flowed together, take the iron tip off and hold the joint. Heat the top of the wire, (where the arrow is) until the solder on the plug and wire flow into each other. Heat the solder on the deans and the solder on the end of the wire until they liquefy. Move it as far away from the plug as you can so it does not shrink too quickly.
Slide a 1.5cm piece of heat shrink on to the wire. Then with the iron still on the deans plug feed solder on to the contact. Hold the soldering iron on to the deans contact end for about two seconds. Then tin it by heating the exposed part of the wire and melting the solder on to the wire. The deans plug and the wire you will be putting it on, I find a blob of blu tac helps to keep things from moving about. Heat shrink for covering the exposed joint. Some good quality solder (60% tin 40% lead in my case.) 7.
