A spot-welded interconnection and method for welding a first conductive tab and second conductive tab together. Each tab is generally planar and the first tab includes a bendable extension. To form the interconnection, the tabs are placed such that the planes of the tabs are in substantially parallel and touching alignment, and then the extension of the first tab is bent around the second tab such that the bent extension is in substantially parallel and touching alignment with the second tab. The first tab, the second tab, and the bent extension are then spot-welded together at one or more locations where the first tab conductively touches the second tab, and where the second tab conductively touches the bent extension. The completed spot-welded interconnection can conduct a predetermined amount of current therethrough without the use of a copper spoon or other conductive material in the interconnection.
