I believe that the one thing all members strive for in building their systems is to be as safe as possible. Sometimes one walks the path between need to have versus want to have. Then there are things like code and other considerations along the way. I took a number of steps to try to ensure...

Then there was the one car I owned that pulled to the right every time I passed a gas station.

The probability of the buttered side landing face down is directly proportional to the expense of the carpet “Jennings Postulate”

So I have been careful not to drill into the dolly frame in case it somehow affected the structural integrity. To that end I have opted for these zip ties. Must say I am favorably impressed so far: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6WN83C5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I believe the recommendation was 6 nm. Would double check on this if needed. I went shy as a precaution.

So here is the build with the dolly in tilt mode. Will require some tweaks to the wood frame to get everything just right but in this position it is about as heavy as pushing a shopping cart:

I think at the end of the day one considers their needs and chooses the technologies which best serve this purpose. I have really enjoyed this project and sharing it with others. If there are any ideas which others find helpful then I am grateful. There are multiple battery and power systems...

Reason I chose the multi position dolly. A milk crate system would be much lighter. This build met several objectives. A redundant Multiplus for my existing system. A plug compatible battery pack for my existing system. The ability to tie into my portable solar panel, BMS consistent with...

Here are some rough numbers. Multiple position dolly 37 pounds 8s 304 cells. 97 pounds Multiplus II. 42 pounds Charge controller 6.5 pounds Distribution box plus breakers 2 pounds Assorted kiln dried lumber and 1/4 inch hardiboard. ??? Pounds Battery case ??? Pounds BMS, bus bars and...

Almost afraid to. I will be assembling a list of pros and cons with this project. Weight was a potential con at the design stage. That is the primary reason I chose this model of dolly. Thank you very much. Very much appreciated!

Looking forward to some field testing.

It is a standard 12 gauge extension cord. Meant for a standard household circuit. The 6 awg from the junction box is to ensure the wire fits snugly in the Multiplus II. A revised version since this unit will be mobile.

Yes. Each are ETL rated breakers on a 15 amp breaker in the panel. Redundancy in motion

Still needs a couple of tweaks. Looking for work to do.

Or HOW much did this one cost???
