Logic puzzle.... how many bus bars?
paulca:
Found a local supplier with the right bus bars. £5 for 4. got 8. Should arrive tomorrow. Kinda means I need to hurry up and capacity order these cells so I can match pairs.
Note, I'm not bothering with actual capacity test. I'm top balancing the pack with a nice long absorb time and then I'm going to run it flat to LVC or close to.
The lowest cell a that point will be matched with the highest cell from the other pack and so on.
EPAIII:
Exactly.

Ok. Now find me those of the right size.

Now, a missive reaction to the one-word reply -- 100% deserved, I get that. But, why use an impossible request to do it..? (You've given no dimensions, nor available / acceptable sources from which to shop or fab such parts; I'm certain the point is, you don't expect anyone to find anything. Maybe this is a common use of phrasing in some areas that I'm just not aware of.)

I honestly thought there might be a mathematical shortcut to not need 23 2 hole bars.
My original did lack a few details, mostly because of "hopping domains". Hopping from domain of DIY solar power to the far wider, more generic electronics domain/audience. I forgot there needed to be a lot more specifics as people wont be familiar that cells come in prismatic form and traditionally bus bars are 2 hole, terminaL to terminal only.
Part of the reason for limiting the number needed is because nickle plated copper bus bars not not cheap or even easy to find! They ship 1 per cell with the cells.
Suggestions to use 4 hole bars or 3 hole bars, would be fine if I had a band-saw, a drill press and a nickel electro-plating bath.
Most of this was established about a week ago in the thread. So people agreeing with previous points already rejected was starting to get annoying.
