I am building a 3P8S pack from 150Ah Lishen cells. For various reasons, a good physical configuration is this:
The supplied bus bars, simple plated copper links, will not work with this arrangement. Would it be a stupid idea to use large plates to make the series/parallel connections? Like this:
For material, I'm considering some 3mm aluminium that I have. For reference, my main fuse is 225A.
The lines on the top left plate indicate possible cuts to make the plates a bit flexible. Easy to do and I can't see any disadvantage. I have not shown the holes to the terminal posts. The cells have welded M6 studs like this:
What do you reckon? Has anyone done something like this? I think I've seen something similar with laser welded bus bars, but not with bolted connections.
