Nickel Plated Steel
Nickel plated steel is ideally suited as links for battery connections, to link cells together either as a single tag from cell to cell or as a special etched or stamped tag, that can link multiple cells. This material is both easy to spot weld and solder. It can be used as a substitute for nickel depending on the battery pack requirement, and can be used as electronic parts.
Apart from standard coil and plain tags, this material is often used for H Tags, the industry known 1404 Tag, and PCB board battery tags. Typically, it has 2 microns of nickel plate on both sides.
