Hey there,
We're making a 13s14p battery composed of a 6s14p pack and a 7s14p pack. After doing some rough calculations, we think that we need two copper bus-bars capable of carrying a peak of 150A current in each with a nominal of 50A each at all times. It's for an electric go-kart.
We're looking at something like this to use:

My question is - Q1: Do you have any advice on what size we should be getting? and Q2: Can we just use a standard drill to drill 8mm diameter holes into these in order to make the + and - terminals for the cables? (my cable lugs have 8mm holes on them)
