Welding system for copper cell connectors
Are you looking for a way to weld copper onto round cells to get even more power out of your battery packs? aixcon PowerSystems has developed a welding process that makes it possible to weld copper rails onto battery cells. Compared to the materials usually used as cell connectors (usually nickel-plated steel, nickel, etc.), the use of copper increases the electrical efficiency of the battery pack due to its increased conductivity. In addition, copper has excellent thermal conductivity and therefore serves as a heat sink.
