I am fusing each cell to internal bus bars, the layout I have in mind is shown here:
Each series cell is capable of 88A continuous, but the max load the system I am making would put on the cells is about 51A, and usually significantly lower than this. I would like to build in overheads however so I was thinking to spec the busbars to carry the full 88A.
I just wanted to check however that I was correct to think that each busbar between each series group needed to be able to carry the full 88A?
Assuming they do, I then used the following table:

To get a cross sectional area required. So for a 10mm width and 1mm thick bar the "amps for chassis wiring" would be a bit under 89A.
So would a 10x1mm busbar with each cell individually fused be correct for this?
