I have 4 x 4awg wires between 2 x Midnite Classics and the main battery bus in 2" flex conduit of about 15ft. The wires carry up to...

Thanks for the feedback😊

If this is the case, you are perfectly fine. In fact, doing good I would say.

Generally I have about 13v on my battery bank. But yeah 12.8 nominal. Good to know how hot is too hot, but I guess 130ish is normal...

Ambient temp was 70°f I didn't peek at my shunt to see the actual amp draw but I was pulling 2200 watts to inverter thru 5ft of 4/0...

I know it's normal for wires to get warm under load but how hot is too hot? I've seen Temps in my setup reach 125°f at the inverter...

I suggest building a small outbuilding in the middle of your property to house your battery bank, charge controllers and a couple of...

Trade batteries from your shop? Or if your shop is supplied with 120v just use a battery charger

Flippin 10mm & 1/2 inch wrench always running off🙄

Oof. Three high draw appliances simtaneously.. Tough call. At minimum you will need 3000W continous output to support all that. AND. A...

Seems to me you would need at the very least 400-500 watts of panels, and you would always be relying on stored power to provide all the...

Voltage is low enough not to jump a gap and start current flowing. Current is high enough that if an arc was drawn, it could keep...

I mean.... they sprayed artificial clouds along the whole moon path anyway. I'm sure that had a much more profound effect on solar...

That is the bit of plastic I was referring to. Just that little bit there on the bottom of the post insulates the current from the base...

What we worked out in your other thread was to fuse your 4 batteries at the bus bar and depend on the BMS to stop current at the...

Sorry I guess my spacing for the vertical "bussbar" got deleted upon posting

So this is improper? It looks to me that all wires are protected. A(fuse)>>b<<(fuse)B u s...

That makes sense, but that's a lot of extra contact points. But if battery A has fuse and battery B has fuse. Wouldn't that essentially...

If parallel batteries. The only way to truly protect the wire, is from both ends.

Thanks y'all, that clarifies why we should use the fuse holder. I can understand now that the current would just flow through the stud...
