Why are we even scared if our packs are safe enough when packs like this obviously work? 
Here are some tests we did on nickel some time ago: The battery builders club - my guess is that 2x 0.15x7mm nickel would be really hot on 60 amps

No idea why the braided copper was on the outside only.
The middle of the pack was just nickel strip for series. I pulled the copper braid off by hand.

breaking these cells down further is going to be harder than I was thinking. Any tips to separate the nickel from the positive sides?
Can I use ipa or something as a solvent to separate the p groups without ripping their wraps off? Wonder what it’s glued with.

be careful brother…
EDIT:
work slowly… seperate the mains first… then S series… then the P groups on the easy shit you can see… it gets funky when you spread the pack for that last S… make that your last cut
EDIT 2:
the first one I tore down I spent an entire liter of voka just looking at it…
I dind’t 'esplode… no sparks… no fire… k00k still be live and battery saved… go slow and think… It can go south quickly… but I have faith… you got this…

I wouldn’t worry about the cell wraps, 18/19/20mm PVC heat shrink is super cheap and easy to get.
As for the nickel, I usually grab it with pliers or dikes and “roll” or peel it off, then come back with flush cutters to take care of the weld nuggets.

Speaking of which. I need to replace my digital calipers. The display has gone all Wonky open to tool suggestions.

how much you wanna spend and to what precision… for most sk8 stuff you can buy harbor-fright crap… but you want precision too .05mm then its bux
but easy answer long… go to amazon… look at $40 calipers look at their ratings and have jeff bezos drive them to your house…

I think I bought $20 calipers the first time. I use em like mad so ok spending more. But I break shit so not a 10x more.

Plus… it takes a LOT of practice feel and precision to dial in the feel for a 1/10th of a millimeter…
