Everyone setup is going to be different, but the kweld manual recommends 50J and I weld at 58J for .2 thickness nickel. So I’m going to call that insufficient.

Here’s 42J on 0.2mm nickel on Tesla model 3 cells. It nearly burns through the nickel sometimes. I’d blame this on my kweld not being accurate though. It’s different for everyone

(Unless I’m stupid and it’s a bad weld. Passes the pull test and everything)

Welds on the right are ugly because they were done with nasty probes.

@Evwan do you remember if you used 42J on both ends, or just the positive terminal? I don’t think it’s a kweld problem - I am noticing the same behavior
