New Tesla battery connection patent

Looks like they are using plates with tabs instead of welding. If they start using these in production it should be possible to either use the parts or copy them to replace welding on diy packs.

It’s a strange link. An extract from a pdf. It worked on my iPad. Replaced it with a link to the page and the downloaded image on my gdrive. If neither of those work for you let me know.

Maybe part of the problem is that it’s a 13 just npage image, which I just noticed .
