Hi all, new guy here. Almost all my experience is rebuilding power packs for Milwaukee Dewalt, etc. Last night I was pulling a 5.0 AH 18V pack apart. One of the preformed nickels had broken off at the interface with the PB board. The size was .3 × 4mm wide. It could carry 6.9A. It's going to be a PITA to take off the board. I have been digging and a solid 24 gauge copper wire is good for 3.5A If I use the nickel for a template I was thinking about running (2) 24gauge wires to cover the amp draw. Would it matter if I lay them side by side or twist together. I was thinking of soldering the wires to the nickel, and at the PC Board use 1 of the wires through the PC board. Would twisting help or hurt the load carry capacity. Thanks in advance!!
