The positive and negative terminals of a general lithium battery are connected to the negative and positive caps through internal nickel tabs (nickel-plated copper) or aluminum tabs. Of course, the design of the tabs has an important influence on the current capacity. The following introduces the tab design theory.<\/p>\n
1. Theoretical parameters of the lug material<\/p>\n
(1) The safe current carrying value of nickel tabs is 11-13A\/mm2, the conductivity of nickel is 140000 S\/cm, and the melting point is 1200\u2103\uff5e1400\u2103.<\/p>\n

(2) The safe current carrying value of the copper tab is 5-8A\/mm2, the electrical conductivity of copper is 584000 S\/cm, and the melting point is \u22481000\u2103.<\/p>\n
(3) The safe current carrying value of the aluminum tab is 3-5A\/mm2, the conductivity of nickel is 369000 S\/cm and the melting point is \u2248660\u2103.<\/p>\n
2. Theoretical design of the influence of the geometric position of the tab on impedance<\/p>\n
The farther the current collector (foil) is from the tab, the weaker the overcurrent;<\/p>\n
The average current value is half of the current collector. Simply put, the effective impedance Reff is half of the current collector impedance Ro.<\/p>\n
Reff = Rc\/2 or Ra\/2<\/p>\n
