[RE-wrenches] Copper bar current capacity?

[Larry]

Hi Wrenches,

In building lithium battery systems, I have many components that need to 
be connected in series from the battery. Sometimes the space is very 
limited making it difficult to bend 2/0 cables. I would like to use 
copper flat bar and make parts to replace the cables. Does anyone know 
how much current I can run through copper bar based on its size? For 
example, 1" or 3/4"  wide by .0625" up to .125" thick. The pieces will 
only be a few inches long and bolted to solenoids, shunt and terminal posts.
