I got a similar experience at 1700A it starts to stick better. I use .2mm nickel with a slid. But the weld nudget is still small, it is not about the joules but about the amps. The aluminum under the thin nickel plate on the plus terminal of the cell is conducting the heat away from the weld...

No the inductance of a twisted pair is lower than a parallel pair, but the difference is small. Most important is to reduce loop area if you consider the current loop to be a single winding coil.

Somehow nobody mentions that inductance depends on loop area. Frank calculates that area from the total cable length which is rather worst case, especially if you twist the wires coming from your source and are able to twist some more on the electrode side the loop area can be reduced...
