So I've got 16 100Ah Life04 Calb batteries.
I will be using them for battery storage in a 12V nominal system. Charge, mainly with Solar, discharge using an inverter.
I've read that the parallel connections don't have to be too large, (whatever too large means), as the main current flows through the series connections, the parallel just keeping the parallel cells balanced.
So, the big question...what should I be using, cable size, for the parallel connections ? ADD: I will discharge them to 2.85V each before paralleling them.
I have the hunking big solid copper connections for when I start putting them in series.
I have to make up a little test bench to charge/discharge each set of 4 to verify capacity before I start assembling them in parallel, so I have some time.
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
