  • Laser-welded busbars with 0.5-1.5mm thickness

2. Insulation Tools

  • Heat shrink tubing (3:1 ratio preferred)
  • Non-conductive silicone coatings
  • PVC terminal covers

3. Monitoring Equipment

Tool Function Accuracy
Battery Management System (BMS) Voltage monitoring ±0.5%
Thermal imaging camera Heat detection ±2°C
