I did a home Nickel plating kit back when I was using these. It seemed to work well. As I recall I spent about $200 on the kit and still have it sitting in my basement if I ever want to Nickel plate something.
Of course, I will never use this type of battery again because they are just plain messy and corrosive which causes all kinds of problems. Same is true for flooded Lead Acids. Lithium are so much better in so many ways 🙂 Damon ________________________________ From: EV <ev-boun...@lists.evdl.org> on behalf of David Kerzel via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> Sent: Monday, August 10, 2020 3:14 PM To: 'Electric Vehicle Discussion List' <ev@lists.evdl.org> Cc: a...@bellsouth.net <a...@bellsouth.net> Subject: Re: [EVDL] Speaking of BB600s Look at caswell.com for electroless nickel plating kits. If the copper is just a conductor, I don't care about tarnish on the non-mating surfaces. Where the bars meet, or the wires attach, polish the copper and use an ant-ox compound. I like brass bolts and nuts with flat brass washers.

I have never tried solder dipping, but I found a recipe for a plating solution online and got the materials from Amazon.
