4.2 Welding Process and Tips
The integrated welding pen design ensures a consistent 0.8mm welding distance, eliminating the need for additional adjustments. For optimal results, follow these tips:
- Ensure the welding pen tips are in full contact with the nickel strip and the battery surface.
- Maintain a 60-degree angle between the welding pen and the surface for easier and more effective welding.
- Apply slight pressure during welding to ensure good contact.
- The device is designed for one-handed operation, making it convenient to position nickel sheets on battery electrodes.
