I saw these standard aluminum lugs at Hime Depot and asked myself if there is any reason I could not use these for the first - connection to the BMS (B-) as well as the final + connection to the fuse:

And now that there is all of this focus on flexible busbars, I’m asking myself whether these could work for all busbar connections (replacing solid busbars with short lengths of whatever AWG cable)?
Finally, not that we seem to be moving to welded terminals at least for 280Ah cells, I’m wondering whether welding on aluminum lugs might prove to be an effective and low-cost solution?
Thoughts from anyone who has used these aluminum lugs for DC battery-based applications - is there an issue with these Aluminum-Lugs-to-Bare-Copper-Wire connections that I’m overlooking?
Heck, with these you could even use aluminum wire eliminating any possibility of galvanic corrosion...
