Hi,

I am working on a project where I am creating some batteries. I want to make the connections (parallel & series) between batteries by touching them together rather than the usual soldering of a wire and connecting the male and female ends.

One idea I had in mind was using conductive velcro:


However, I was not able to acquire any! I bellieve the product is not supported anymore. Right now I am looking for a way to connect two ending where I can easily connect and disconnect them smoothly. ANY IDEAS?!

 

I would say that magnets might work.

 

It might be difficult connecting a wire to a magnet. I have some magnets that come with a wire attached. The magnet is crimped (?) into a holder which has the wire attached. Unfortunately I can't remember where I bought them and I can't find any available now.

 

How much current do want to draw from the batteries?
For high currents you need good low resistance connections.

You don't have to connect to the magnet, you can have a ferrous contact over the magnet which makes the electrical connection.

Alternatively, there are various more robust commercial versions.

Can you recommend a product?
