Abstract

A battery module that includes a stack of battery cells is disclosed, each battery cell of the battery module has a terminal, and the terminal has a first alloy of a metal, the battery module has a bus bar that includes a body having a nickel plating on at least a portion of the body, and an indentation disposed on the body, where a thickness of the nickel plating is between 0.2% and 20% of an overall thickness of the body, a weld physically and electrically couples the terminal to the bus bar, and the nickel plating enables the weld to be stronger than a weld between the first and second alloys.
