Comment on Drilling and tapping LiFePO4 battery terminal practicality?
NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 1 month agoOK, I’m no expert but it says this at the end of that product listing:
Secure this matched 2-pack of premium Sunwoda 314Ah cells—fresh stock from a respected brand, with flat studs for easy welding/integration.
Are you saying they need a heavier gauge bus bar for the current, something too thick for a small spot welder? Would you MIG/TIG weld a battery contact?

Yeah, these are 0.5C cells, meaning they can safely discharge 157A (I would be using them for offgrid solar), so those little nickle strips would melt. I think TiG welding these would be extremely dangerous and produce too much heat (and I’ve never TiG welded before; just badly MiG welded a couple times). By “welding” in the description they mean commercial laser welders.
