Nickel strip current question.

avoleoo · Dec 18, 2020

Hey Guys,
Finishing building 14s6p tesla cell pack and was wondering what are limits for the 0.15 nickel strip. I will also be soldering 12awg wire somewhere in the middle of the last series. BMS is 60amps. Intended to run it at 35a continous, so it may see a 50a spikes. Hopefully someone can answer.

Thank you

This is "Matador Amperecity Table" by "Matador" found in many places on ES. Thanks to him.
It is self-explanatory, so just give it some times and your answer might be in there.

Should you need more detail, just ask, then someone will come help asnwer. A lot of nice and very knowledgeable people here.

I can see where it says 4.3 amps, but for what length? How do I calculate if I am within specs for the given configuration since it's not just a width x length but is a parallel connection of 6 batteries and 14 in series. That's the reason I am asking, I have looked at this graphics before and totally confused.

I have 3 strips in series (*correction - parallel), so good for 15a. Looks like i may be short on the series side.

Do you mean 3 strips in parallel?

Chalo: You are right lol. 3 in parallel to connect batteries in series.
