I tried searching but didn’t come up with much. I will be building an 8s2p Molicell P42A pack. The current draw will be about 90 amps, but just short duration bursts of maybe 5-7 seconds. I am confident I can solder these cells together with minimal heating. But I have a Kweld that I can use. I’m lazy so would prefer to spot weld but am unsure about which way to go.
I thought maybe I could use some household 12 gauge solid copper wire to solder the cells together.
Or I have on hand 0.15 and 0.2mm nickel 8mm wide. I have some 0.2mm copper sheet. So could try some combination of this using the Kweld.
I’ve never really seen anyone test high current draw on spot welded connections. The solder is best guys will say it’s a bad idea, I’m sure. Yet, every high C lipo pack I’ve taken apart has some spot welds on the tabs.
I’m so undecided…someone please help me! :lol:
