I would suggest to increase your battery terminal thickness. At the marked spots you will gett the current of your 8P over the nickel strip, which will be too much. ![IMG_7182](https://foil.zone/uploads/default/original/3X/9/9/997ef93dffdc101dae63c651fc7cb747f19a73ee.jpeg) You could extend the terminals and solder them to the nickel between the batteries, but it would have been better to solder before spotwelding, to avoid to heat up the cells. See here, 1. battery soldered carefullly after welding, still OK after 4 Seasons. 2nd battery was soldered first and then spotwelded. > [@Daniels (un)geared inflatable (slowly built)](https://foil.zone/t/daniels-un-geared-inflatable-slowly-built/8069/56): > > Also built LiIon packs as the Lipos started to loose capacity. As it is hard to get cells at the moment, I chose Molicel P42A 21700, they were available. The battery is split into two 6S packs to fit the hatch. Max I could fit in was 6S8P. 0.2mm nickel strips It was a bit tricky to solder the 8AWG wires to the strips (between the cells) but I had to minimise the size to fit them through the hatch… > [@Daniels (un)geared inflatable (slowly built)](https://foil.zone/t/daniels-un-geared-inflatable-slowly-built/8069/81): > > New battery Pack Buit a new pair of batteries from Samsung 21700 40T. They were available for a good price from nkon. I built them like the first ones, apart from the main wire connection to the nickel strip. This time I soldered them to the nickel before spotwelding. This way the cells do not absorb heat from soldering which could damage them. Tested them once, they work great. Capacity is slightly lower than the molicel p42A pack but that’s justified by the lower price of the cells. … --- _[View the full topic](https://foil.zone/t/another-cheap-6384-built-599/22347)._
