What's New in Cell Pack Designer

1.1

October 19, 2026

New: Interconnects & wiring sizing, right next to BMS sizing. - Strip recommendation for the series links between parallel groups: material, thickness, width and number of layers, sized from your pack's continuous and peak current. - A clear answer to "Should I switch to copper?" (No / Optional / Yes / use busbars), with the reason. - Copper cross-section for the terminal bus where the main leads attach. - Main discharge lead gauge in AWG and mm², from current with headroom plus a voltage-drop check for your lead length (new optional input, default 50 cm). - Balance lead gauge guidance. - Compare now shows strip, copper verdict and lead gauge side by side, and the Reference tab explains the rules of thumb used. Thanks to the reviewer who asked for this.

Needs to go a step further

The app is handy in what info it does present but lacks the final detail in regards to the sizing of nickel strip or if you should switch to copper and same goes for the wiring. It gives you an estimated cost of your materials without presenting what those particular material sizes or capabilities should be to suit the build. Just as it does for selecting a BMS that is the correct for the pack, I feel this should be extended to the battery connections and wiring selected for the build also. Then it would get 5 stars

Response from developer

Thank you for the detailed feedback — it shaped version 1.1. Right next to BMS sizing, the app now recommends the series-link strip (nickel thickness/width/layers), gives a clear "switch to copper?" verdict with the reason, sizes the copper terminal bus, and recommends main lead gauge (AWG and mm²) with a voltage-drop check for your lead length. Compare shows them side by side too. Version 1.1 is in App Review now. We would love to hear how it works for your next build.
