JZeFF Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Im making a set of buss bars for my battery... I went to home depot looking for a strip of copper to use... they dont stock copper strips? What do you guys usually use, and where do you get it? I'm pretty sure im about to take some copper tube and pound it flat... lol It would work, right?

kingsuv Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Google copper buss bars http://www.stormcopper.com/Copper-Bar.htm Home improvement stores won't have what you are looking for as it's not something you typically build a house with. Any metal supply store will carry it also. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZeFF Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 So i take it that pounding a copper tube flat will not work? lol If not i will just order one. I'm thinking .125" thickness... seem about right?

PUNKYOU007 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 The thickest aluminum that my local home depot carries is 1/4" thick and 8' long. cost like $25 Quote Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C.

kingsuv Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 LOL if you want to pound down 1/2 copper tubing, Please make a video of it I would say .25" thick by 1"- 1.5" would do you fine. Really depends on the battery bank for the thickness and width. Storm has some of the best prices I have seen in awhile. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

CaptainzPlanetz Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I bought some 1/4" by 1" alluminum bars from True Value, they came about 6 feet long and it went for about 15dollars.

JZeFF Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 aluminum or stainless steel bars will work better Is this true, or false... im gonna guess false. Since every good power wire uses copper, and people avoid CCA wire...
