00:00Okay, so you're into electroplating, battery building, or spot welding, and you need nickel
00:04foil or strip that actually works without draining your wallet, same here. I went down the rabbit
00:10hole and pulled out the top 5 nickel foil and strip solutions for electroplating that people
00:14are actually buying, and trust me, one of these is gonna be exactly what you need.
00:19First up, the 5m 21700W pure nickel W type strip is a beast for anyone building 21700 battery packs.
00:29It's pure nickel, pre-cut with that W-style dislocation bracket design, so you get clean,
00:34reliable parallel connections without wasting time trimming and fitting.
00:38At $24.32 with almost 5,000 units sold and a perfect 5-star rating, it's not the cheapest
00:44thing on this list, but if you're doing serious packwork, it pays for itself in the first build.
00:50Then there's the nickel-plated strip for 18,650 batteries, this is the workhorse everyone starts
00:56with. You get 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2mm options, and it's made for spot welding machines, so
01:04it holds up great on battery welders. Here's the kicker, it's only $4.18, nearly 4,900 people
01:11have bought it, and it sits at a 4.9 rating. For that price, just grab one and stop overthinking
01:17it.
01:18Number 3 is basically the same idea but a full 10-meter roll of nickel-plated strip,
01:23again for 18,650 cells and spot welding. More material, same reliability, and it's $4.08,
01:31cheaper than the shorter version, which is kind of wild. With over 4,100 sold and a 4.8 rating,
01:38this is the one I'd buy if you're planning to weld more than a couple of packs.
01:42Next is the 10-meter nickel-plated strip with thickness options from 0.1 all the way up to
01:470.2mm. It's for 18,650 battery sheets and spot welding, and it's the bargain of the bunch at just
01:55$3.98. Over 4,000 units sold, 4.8 stars, it's basically the same thing as number 3 but a
02:03couple
02:03of cents cheaper, so if you want maximum material for minimum cash, this is your pick.
02:08And finally, for the actual electroplating folks, there's the 99.9% pure nickel plate
02:14N6 grade with 1, 2, or 3mm thickness, meant as a nickel anode for scientific research and plating
02:20setups. At $14.92 with over 3,400 sold and a 4.6 rating, it's a legit high-purity anode
02:28for the
02:29price, and if you're plating anything seriously, you don't want to cheap out on your anode material.
02:34So there you go 5 solid nickel solutions, from $4 welding strips to a proper pure nickel anode.
