It’s the lug of you lead that becomes one with the fuse, the nut and stud provide an insulating clamping force. See that black ring at...

The top does, but the bottom is isolated.

For the fuse to work one side must be touching the hot of the battery and the other must be one with the stud. That way the current...

Doesn't the stud become one with the fuse once you torque on the wire lug?

This makes sense being that battery studs tend to be pretty short, but couldn't you just buy longer studs? I recall another member...

Of course I would still opt to use a stud cover

Yes, if the stud or bolt is long enough. Edit: pay no attention to me. lol The bolt or stud needs to be isolated from the path of...

Lol frustrating to think about. I guess even if the stud is separated from the base, the fuse contacts both the lug on top and the...

I just thought a little more in depth on the fuse holders and realized that the post looks like it is separated from the busbar by a...

Is there a reason to use the little fuse holders? If I were to just mount the little cube fuse directly onto the post with cable lug on...

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying :)

I imagine one battery 2P4S (two cells in parallel, connected together four in series), the other is just four in series. If that is...

I'm not sure what you mean by same series cell count. The cutaway picture on li-times site shows 8 cells, and Wills teardown video on...

Yes, it will work fine as long as they are the same chemistry and series cell count.

Hi, I have 4 identical Li-time 12v 200ah plus batteries wired in parallel for my current setup. I also have an SOK 12.8v 206ah just...

I'm actually in the process of filling the rest of the roof should get 1600w. I'll have 5s3p going into my RV that pulls it then the...

Looks like you got 1kw of power up there :) Nice! I see you just used clamp mounts with strut nuts, do you have any issues with them...

I used half height superstruts. Drilled right through the roof into the frame on the ceiling and used lag bolts with washers. Put lap...

Thank you! I don't know why I was overthinking it, just some square tubing ladder racks and L-brackets should work great. lol I'd need 2...

Ladder racks? They drill in on the sides. Might be less invasive. Keep panels on one side front to back and you can still put a ladder...
