The difficulty is that you cannot submerse both terminals in the *same* bath, or the cell will uncontrollably start plating itself on one terminal, while releasing the material from the other (alu!) terminal, so the plating must be done for each terminal separate. Better to get a plating kit and do it yourself - one terminal at a time!!!

Tried that with pouch cells, they wouldn't touch them. Something about immersing high energy/power flammable cells into conductive liquid gave them concerns. Maybe if you can find a plating company more comfortable with handling batteries. -- www.electric-lemon.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
