Hey folks!
Ive been scouring the boards and watching Will's videos as I begin to plan and assemble a small (as Will's site puts it) a minimalist set up. After weeks of off grid camping the wife and I have dialed down out power needs and have decided to drop the inverter. That being said, every bit of info I find on sizing a MRBF for the batteries seems to be based off the inverter size.
Ive got 2- Li Time 12v 100ah lifepo4 batteries which state max. continuous discharge is 100A
Those 2 will be in parallel so a 200A fuse? The DC fuse block is only rated for 100A
Did a miss a formula somewhere?
One last question as this is my first time playing with lithium batteries The instruction manual shows using buss bars for 2 batteries in parallel and I was not expecting that. So how do I figure the amp rating for the bars?
Many thanks in advance.
