Finally got my battery built! Everything works!! I’ll have it connected inside my motorhome tomorrow and begin programming the MPII! Thanks to all those who have shared their insights, I definitely leaned heavily on the wealth of knowledge here!

Looks tidy. What are you using to penetrate the box for your (-) terminal?

Thanks! It’s a Blue Sea 2203. The (-) to the Lynx distributor as well as chassis ground will tie into it outside the box.

Where did you source you’re BMS from?

Converting from 12 to 24v is on my long term plan.

That's interesting.. didn't know they were carrying those.. Do you know if they provide any warranty themselves if the BMS fails since it seems a lot of the recent JK BMSs shipped from Hankzor has been having issues.

Minor critique… I would move the shunt to the other side, reroute the negatives to keep from crossing the under the positive cable.
Also, put the black cables between the blue lugs on the post.
