    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...

    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...
