Nickel strip on a cell
0.15 mm pure nickel strip on a cell's cap · about 1.2 mΩ through the two probe contacts · a good weld takes roughly 6–15 J in the joint per pulse (the lab's rule of thumb)

How to use it
What the welder works on. Too little energy: the strip peels off. Too much: a hole and a spark, and heat into the cell.
