What is this nickel strip used for?

It connects 18650 Li-ion cells when you build or repair battery packs. You spot weld it across cell terminals to link them. It's a common choice for power tool pack repairs and DIY battery builds.

How do I attach the strip to battery cells?

Use a spot welder to fuse the strip onto each cell terminal. The 0.15 mm thickness balances strength with easy welding, so welds bite without burning through. Don't try to solder it directly to cells, since the heat can damage them.

How much strip do I get and how thick is it?

Each roll is 10 meters long and 0.15 mm thick, enough for several pack projects. The nickel-plated steel keeps surface resistance low, under 0.01 ohm. Width varies by option, so check the listing for the size you need.

Q: What is this 18650 Battery Nickel Strip used for? A: This 18650 Battery Nickel Strip is primarily used for connecting individual 18650 Li-ion battery cells in battery packs. It facilitates the creation of series and parallel connections for various electronic applications requiring custom battery configurations.. Q: How is this nickel strip applied to battery cells? A: The nickel strip is applied to battery cells using a spot welding machine. The spot welder creates a strong, low-resistance electrical connection between the strip and the battery terminals, ensuring efficient current flow within the battery pack.. Q: Is this strip made of pure nickel? A: No, this strip is specified as a 'Nickel Strip,' which commonly refers to nickel-plated steel for cost-effectiveness in battery pack construction. Pure nickel strips are also available but are typically specified as such and are more expensive.. Q: Does the 0.15mm thickness affect current capacity? A: Yes, the 0.15mm thickness, in conjunction with the strip's width, directly influences its current carrying capacity and overall resistance. Thicker and wider strips generally offer lower resistance and can handle higher currents, reducing heat generation during discharge and charge cycles.. Q: Can this strip be soldered instead of spot welded? A: While it is technically possible to solder nickel-plated steel, spot welding is the recommended and preferred method for connecting battery cells. Soldering can introduce excessive heat to the battery, potentially damaging the cell and compromising its safety and longevity..
