Many  a good advice,. We have done several remarkable designs with
batteries, finding finally that one had to keep battery and PWB apart
(speaking big batteries). Practical reasons.

Location              Max current (amps)

I have this copied into a map with 'good rules'. Think he works at some big
battery industry in the US.
It's interesting to see what enormous current capacity copper has, also, how
important it is to keep an eye on the
temperature.
