Depends on your current. Typically I would say in the order of
magnitude of 0.1 mOhm (milliOhm) because a 300A current will then
give 30mV drop, which produces 300A x 0.03V = 9 Watt of power loss
as heat.

At EVERY connection? In a 120V lithium pack that 's 38 x 9 =

No; Cor has it right. And, 0.1 milliohms is a *good* connection. You
will discover that it is damnably difficult to make a connection that
good with aluminum terminals!
