21700 2P 200A Copper Busbar Strip with Weldable Tabs
This 21700 2P Copper Busbar Strip is designed for builders creating high-current lithium battery packs using 21700 cells. It provides a cleaner and lower-resistance connection compared to standard nickel strip, making it a strong option for high-performance battery pack builds.
The copper busbar helps carry high current efficiently, while the weldable tab areas are designed for spot welding directly to the cell terminals when using the correct spot welding equipment.
📐 Important Cell Spacing Notice
This product has no extra cell-holder spacing. It is intended for close 21700 cell layouts where cells are placed without plastic holders, scaffolds, honeycomb frames, or extra spacers.
If your battery pack uses plastic 21700 holders or any type of cell spacer, please verify your spacing before purchasing. Some holders add extra distance between cells and may prevent the weld tabs from lining up correctly.

- Do not exceed the safe current rating of your cells, BMS, wiring, connectors, or full battery design.
💡 DIY500AMP.COM Builder Note:
Copper busbars can help reduce resistance and heat in high-current battery packs. This is especially important for builders working with 100A+ systems, where voltage sag, heat, and connection quality become critical.
⚠️ Safety Warning:
Battery building can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Short circuits, poor welds, wrong polarity, or inadequate insulation can cause overheating, fire, or permanent cell damage. This product is intended for experienced battery builders.
Orders ship from Florida when inventory is available. Lithium-ion cells require proper handling, protected packs, correct chargers, and safe storage. Do not solder directly to battery terminals.
