@Josh Gibson have you, or anyone else, considered how to do a flexible or semi-flexible busbar for these two stud terminals for use with inline cells under compression?
I had thought about just buying some 2ga. or 4ga. (to handle 200A) flexible OFC silicone wire and making two small loops per terminal, but with lugs and wire it will get a little costly. Even at that, the radius of the loops would have to be pretty tight since the lugs have to mount at 90*, plus you have to do 2x for each set of terminals.
I suppose another similar option would be to use the same lugs and use multiple runs of a smaller diameter wire (maybe 2 x 8ga or 3x 10ga.) per lug for more flexibly.
I also thought about cutting the supplied busbars and soldering a small section of heavy gauge wire in between to create a little flex, but I'd guessing soldering that much mass would be a PITA.
Another option would be make custom semi-rigid busbars out of copper pipe and hammer in a "kink" in the center for a slight amount of give. Probably less forgiving and wouldn't be tinned, unless someone wanted to do a DIY tin-job.
I'm sure there are other ways to skin the cat... Either way I'd ideally like to use compression and I'm reluctant to use the solid bars as they would likely stress the terminals.
Any thoughts, other than "just don't use compression"?
