Can I use power distribution blocks to connect midnite 48v batteries in parallel?

Hi guys, new to the forum

Can I use PDB to connect two midnite powerful 16 in parallel? Or can I just connect in parallel at the battery terminals? Or would it be best to get a fuse box or combiner box for the batteries?

I have worked on smaller projects which included a E4 LLS 48 V battery and they grow white inverter 3K that I added to my RV and that’s been working fine and all.

But now I am venturing on my next project and trying to replace and add solar storage to my home. My friend set up for my house is a 5k array and a 5k grid tie inverter.

This past week, I just placed an order for the new midnight solar, all-in-one inverter, and two of the midnight power flow batteries.

So any insight would be greatly appreciated as I obviously want to make sure that my system is safe and I just don’t burn $15,000 or the house for that matter!!

Thanks again

A PDB is no different from a bus bar. As long as it's rated for the current and conductor size needed. I'm using them for battery combiners, throughout my systems.
Of course OCP is required in either case.

The midnite batteries have integrated shunt trip breakers so he should be good there.

I am also using PDB (Power Distribution Blocks) to combine my two battery cabinets, my two solar charge controllers, and the XW-Pro inverter.

I am using a pair of these.
