I think I'm right here but I would just like to double check something for my planned battery build (48volt, 8p13s, 18650 pack with a max discharge of 20A) Aiming to use 0.15mm nickel strip to make the connections between the cells. Obviously the series connections will need to have multiple nickel strips connecting each parralel group to each other to handle the current draw but will I have to double up the nickel on the parralel connections or will one strip of 0.15mm nickel be fine? I would assume the majority of the current flow would be flowing through the multiple series connections anyway and the parralel will not see nearly the same current flow as the series connections but i would just like to confirm that this is correct. Thanks again.
 
If you have a series nickel strip for each cell, then the nickel strip in parallel will almost see no current.
