Should I use a nickel battery pack?

So, these are only recommended for low-current operations. When you are building a battery-powered low-voltage system, it's critical to build the battery with the right size nickel. It’s important to not overlook the wiring outside of the battery pack, as it’s just as important as the battery’s internal connections.

What if each battery has a 15A nickel strip?

If each battery cell in parallel had its own 15A nickel strip connection to the next battery in series, you'd have 5 independent 12v batteries that arerated for 15A and are properly sized, adding a strip between them allows them to compensate for minor differences in voltage and capacity while also naturally balancing the 5 12v batteries together.

What size nickel strips should I buy?

So, keep that in mind when shopping for nickel strips. The most commonly available pure nickel strips are 7mm wide, though 10mm is readily available. There are some 47mm strips, but there is a large air gap in the middle. If you need more current, you could always spot-weld 2 to 3 layers of nickel strips on top of each other for more capacity.

How to calculate copper busbar and nickel strip for battery pack?

How many amps per square mm of nickel?

From what I've read and been told, 6.5 amps per square MM of Nickel is about the limit of acceptable for battery strips between cells. ideal would be less. As you can see, that works out to just about 1 amp per mm of width with .15 strips. Here's a couple of calculators. Buy the ticket, take the ride. You must log in or register to reply here.

Why should you choose a nickel alloy strip for battery connectors?

The improved conductivity results in a higher transmission of power via a smaller, thinner and lighter strip. This enables a reduction of the battery tab connector footprint, material weight and cost without comprising on performance. We offer three high purity nickel alloy strip grades for battery connector applications:
