Hello there, this is my first post but I've been interested in building battery packs from used batteries for quite a while. I wasn't happy with the current solutions of spotwelding where expensive machines are required, or soldering which damages cells.
Another major problem is that they are pretty permanent. When a cell dies then the whole battery back has to be dissasembled and reassembled, and it is pretty hard to isolate which battery is under preforming.
I've designed a simple 3-d printed enclosure that is made up of only plastic and nickel strips. Here are some pictures:
Basically two nickel strips are inserted into the bottom and the top of the enclosure and then screwed on with the plastic cap to keep them in contact with the battery, simple. At any point you can remove the nickel strip to access the cells and get them out!
Please suggest any improvement or any possible issues that you can see. If people want to use this design themselves I am happy toupload the 3D file.
