Thanks again. If you have a chance the measurements for your busbars would be an interesting comparison but I don't anticipate drawing anywhere near the capacity of the bank at any one time. If I turn everything electrical on the boat on simultaneously, including all the emergency bilge pumps...
Thanks Paul, I appreciate the input. I have a mix of 1/8 x 1/2 and 1/4 x 1/2 inch bus bar. I was thinking of using the heavier bar, rated around 220A for the entire right side. Do you think this'll be adequate? I will be using 2/0 cable with fuses for connecting the packs to the system. And I...
Paul,
Thanks for measuring your bus bars. It reassures me that mine are okay. I checked the ampacity and for the 1/4 inch bar it's rated a 238A. The batteries I have are the lime green Navitas 25A units, so very different from the EVE cells. The terminals are 6mm and because of the small...
Justin, are these batteries still available? I'm in Abq. I bought two cases of the Navitas 25A batteries but realize that for my purpose, fewer large capacity cells will be better. So I'll be selling the Navitas...
I bought two case of the Navitas 25 A/h batteries when they popped up. They have been resting comfortably at half charge but I am now ready, copper bus bars in hand, to assemble them into three packs. I plan on two batteries of 24 cells (150A/h) and one of 12 cells. The big ones are for the...
Okay, thanks. Also nice to see someone else in 'Burque. This is my first venture into building my own pack for my sailboat and although the Navitas' I bought seem amazing, as in every battery but one in the pack tested at exactly the same voltage and resistance, my efforts at making bus bars...
