The old tried-and-true process for connecting large pouch-cell tabs together.
This is NOT the EASY/FAST/INEXPENSIVE way....that is my second (below this one) post to this thread.
I've built four SPIM08AH packs using this described old method of aluminum bars clamped together with screws.
It works great, but is a slow time consuming process:
*) Requires aluminum stock to be cut, drilled.
*) Custom Screws, nuts and lockwashers (preferably all stainless)
*) Cell Tap for BMS: Copper tabs, round-hole base that fit in one of the screws into each junction.
*) Large space between packs to make room for assembled thick aluminium clamps on each cell.
*) Very heavy insulators (tape will rub through if clamps bind with each other) that surround each clamp.
*) Lock-tight? If a screw comes lose pack would become an inferno.
