I am having some issues getting my Fortress 18K and my Sol-Ark 12K connected. One side requires an M8 lug, while the other side requires an M10 lug. I need 2/0 or 4/0 cable per the specs.
I found that Spartan Power sells custom cables with different size lugs, but the next issue is how to fit such a huge cable into conduit. Both the Fortress and Sol-Ark basically max out at 1" conduit.
How have others handled this? Do battery cables even need to be in conduit? Pictures on the internet seem to show them protected by conduit most of the time:
