I recently purchased 64x of the EVE 280 cells.
I have two banks (32 cells each) connected in a 2P16S configuration.
I plan to connect these to a combiner box, and then connect the combiner box to my inverters.
I'm using 2x Deye 8k inverters connected in parallel.

What is the best way to fuse this setup?

Class t fuse as close as possible to the positive terminal.

8000 ac watts * 1.5 low frequency factor / 48 volts = 250 service amps
250 service amps / .8 fuse headroom = 312.5 fault amps.
2/0 awg to 4/0 awg depending on the desired voltage drop.
 
I think that if each bank can for any reason power both inverters at full charge (maintenance or one fuse already blown), then each fuse should be able to sustain the load of almost 500A.
I would use fuse close to 1C rate for each bank, so 560A

Deye 8kw data sheet :
  • Max. Charging Current (A): 190A
  • Max. Discharging Current (A): 190A
depending on the batterie charging voltage the inverter flow is around 190A

how is the amps when u charge the batteries from the grid ?

I don't have one.
Just generic math.
I've since learned that the unit is either similar or identical to the Sol-ark, which makes it a high frequency inverter.
8000 ac watts / .85 conversion factor / 48 volts low cutoff = 196.078431373 inverter amps.
