So I've gone through many variations for my battery pack from 48v to 12v, what to parallel, what to series, what shape, using a bus bar to parallel each 4s pack, everything haha.
I think I've got my final answer. I now have the new MultiPlus II 12/120/3000 so I'm set to 12v now. I have a Victron Lynx Distributor I was going to use as the parallel connection for each 4S pack in my RV as an easy way to take a pack out of service. This would be nice, but I didn't want quite that many extra wires. So I'm doing a little of both.
As you can see in the photo, I'll be splitting it into two main batteries with the main leads still going to a Lynx Distributor as the final parallel connection. This will allow me to still take a pack out of service, just not quite as small as a single 4S pack. This also put the main leads exactly where I want them for a clean run to my Distributor.
Let me know what you guys think! I'm on about day 3 of top balancing these 16 cells and I'm only up to 3.35 volts haha, getting closer.
Still deciding on whether I want to run these through 1 battery ON/OFF switch with a dual circuit or have a separate switch for each battery.
