According to the SAFT manual I have here.......
Interconnection between cells is via high conductivity nickel-plated copper link bars. These are held in place on each cell by nickel-plated copper nuts on threaded copper-chromium external terminals or MS type nickel plated steel internally threaded terminals........ .....The battery case itself is made of metal or other appropriate rigid material. Depending on the particular model, this may be stainless steel, plastic coated sheet steel, painted sheet steel, or titanium. ...... Stay Charged!
