Watch the nickle corners if thay get pushed in this could make a short the general accepted way around this is to round your nickle corners
Don’t weld in the center of the neg of the cell it’s were the main connections are welded on the other side it’s bad for them
3 strips of nickle is not enouth for 100A on your series links.
Is this a burn mark?
You have all that potenchal restricted by this little cable that will get very warm.
Be carful KWeld cables and batters ain’t plug and play the length and thickness are critical to the resistance and calibration. Same with the battery if you pull over 2000A you will cause damage to the KWeld will shut down.
800A bare minimum
1200A recommended minimum (this is what the KCaps deliver)
1400-1600 is a good place (this is what dule KCaps deliver)
Holed the peddle down and it will tell you the result of the weld. That will give you a good idea of how the Old leads are
If your going to play around with the cables and battery’s I recommend you do a quick bit of maths
