The OEM straight busbar Tesla uses to connect two battery modules together. Used, in good condition.
Module to module connections are where a pack's resistance quietly accumulates. Every joint adds a little, and at pack currents a little resistance is a lot of heat in a place that is hard to inspect. Using the busbar Tesla designed for the job means the length, the section and the hole spacing are all right by definition.
It is the OEM part, which is the point. A fabricated bar or a cable link will work, but it has to be made to the right length and the right section, and the joint at each end has to be as good as a factory one. This is simply what was there.

- Straight form, for modules in line with each other
- Solid busbar rather than a cable link, so there are no crimps to add resistance
Compatibility
For connecting two Tesla battery modules together.
Check it against your modules before ordering. Tesla used more than one module type, and terminal spacing is not the same across all of them. Tell us which modules you have and we will confirm.
Torque the joints properly and check again after the first heat cycle. A loose busbar is the most common cause of a hot spot in a pack. Copper terminal paste on the contact faces keeps the interface from oxidising.
