Thank you BentleyJ I appreciate the help!

I'm facing the same thing, I have a 6500EX and a 60 amp double pole breaker and am wondering if it is ok to use 1 pole to run my a 120v load center. Would anyone know, and am wondering if that's what David did and how it turned out?

Thank you Mik4111, I have ordered the Blue Sea fuse block. I hope the 200 amp fuse from the Go Power block will fit in it. Appreciate the help!

Hopefully you fine folk can guide me. The 2/0 awg connection to the fuse used in this https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/48v-complete-system-blueprint.html Appears to be a jam the raw ends of the stranded wire in the round receptacle and crank the allen head screw down on the strands kind of...

Yes the one I have now is 2.1.2 Nov 2022. It does say cable needed is equal to or greater than 1/0 as McRod thankfully posted; so the SS guy was correct in what he told me. Good to have the correct manual.

McRod - Good catch, my user manual was version 2.0.0 from August 2022. I have now downloaded the latest, correct one and I appreciate you pointing this out to me. Who knows what else has been changed, and that alone could save me an unknown amount of confusion and mistakes. Cheers! I'm now...

Thank you John, with 2/0awg minimum, 4/0 doesn't seem that much of a stretch. Of course I have no real clue. Still want 4/0, but have a couple weeks before I have to make the decision.

Here's what the EG4 6500EX 48 User Manual says, I think it's 2/0AWG minimum. I don't know what "1*2/0AWG" means exactly though. I'm still thinking about 4/0, but McRod makes a point about the wire being too big to fit - and I remember Will said "Wow that was a bear to install" in a video when he...

It looks like I will have to install a busbar on the negative side anyway to reduce to 2/0 cable for inverter connection, in that case. Keep all battery cables the same length, check. Thank you for the heads up! This is fun

Thank you PreppenWolf and Browse. Making me think. It's hard ;) I will ultimately have a 2 inverter system with possibly 2 battery banks so I know I may be oversizing a bit with the 4/0 with just 1 inverter now; but it will be similar to Will's and JCSchwarb's in future, so I'm trying to look...

Can't thank you folks enough for the input. I have decided to use 4/0 awg from battery to fuse, then 2/0 from fuse to inverter. This is what Will and JCSchwarb did from mostly the same setup as I. I will omit the busbar until I get a 2nd inverter. 4/0 from batteries to 200 amp fuse; I read in a...

I bought 4 - (will be 6 shortly) - EG4LL (v2) 48v batteries w/rack and a 6500EX-48 inverter. In future there will be 2 inverters for 240, but for now just a 1 inverter system is the plan. It's off-grid house backup for outages for now and will add solar. Signature solar just told me "For the...
