> range of 30-60mV
Your argument seems to be based on either the insignificance or undetectability of voltage drops in the mV range.
But consider the typical current shunt used in the 10 A range of a multimeter: it measures the voltage drop across a 1 inch piece of circular 14 awg copper wire… pretty standard since the 70s or 80s.
Why you have a hyper-religious zealotry for advocating:
- the unnecessary over-paralleling of cells
- not monitoring them
- drawing unnecessarily high currents from them
is beyond me, unless you work for the li-ion industry and/or big copper, or both.
I’m just here pointing out a few things. If you’re DIYing your own packs, I try and put some basic safety ideas into practice not cut every conceivable
cost in a mass production scenario.
Yeah, tesla had a ridiculous 18650 pack, but they knew they didn’t know what they were doing and mitigated accordingly. Do likewise.
