Hi All. I'm building a 24 volt Lifepo4 battery and have a question or two.
The pictures below illustrate my questions.
I bought copper and made my own busbars. I didn't think it through well and ended up unable to stack busbars due to thickness.
So I am thinking I can use 6 awg wire to jump pos to net.
Any issues with this? My inverter is 3000/6000. I currently have no expectation of ever exceeding the 3k, probably more like 2k.
But I am wondering if the 6 awg jumper wires from pos to neg on my battery build are going to be an issue carrying the necessary amps/voltage?
Nextly, I have a crimper, maybe not the best. So I am wondering if soldering is a good option after crimping? Heat shrinked on both ends as well.
Thanks for having a look!
(If the pic of my battery is confusing, I am using a long bar at the end to connect the two sets. I just haven't got it drilled yet)
