I've read many posts on nickel, nickel sandwich, copper tape and find the topic very interesting but I'm asking a favor to get dialed on the workable options for this build. Thanks.

96 Lithium 3.7v 4800 mAh 2170 cells combined as follows:

5 packs = 6p X 3s = 28.8 Ah x 11.1v = 320 watts/pack
1 pack = 6p x 1s = 4.8 Ah x 3.7v = 106 watts

Packs are connected in series for total battery of 16s x 6p = 1696 watts

Pack series connected together via XT60 and 12AWG wire.

Cells are spot welded with a kWeld unit.

I was planning on standard 1.7mm nickel strips but after doing research, copper or copper sandwich has come up. What are the options to ensure heat voltage is safely managed?
