In this video we look into using two spot welding methods to put the nickel strips onto a cell. I did get a few comments about the way I used the spot welder in the last M18 pack build video. I held my welding leads close together on the same side of the nickel strip split instead of going across the split. I basically did this without much thought as I use solid strips 90% of the time myself. So this is my basic technique to get spot welds fairly close together for maximum current flow. The viewers of course are mentioning that the split allows the current to flow better into the cell case when it flows across the split. I have worked with packs for many years and I can see the point for sure. So I am wrong to use the solid strips as much as I do? Am I welding improperly by choosing close weld points over using across the split method? Now, the comments were not negative by any means they were simply trying to be helpful and I can appreciate that, lets find out together if one is really superior! Thanks for watching!
