I've received my order of (16) 280 Ah LiFePO4 cells, but the bus bars washers and nuts I expected to be with the cells were not. Now I need to order some bus bars and I need to determine the correct size. Naturally, they need to be long enough to fit cell stud to cell stud, but what about thickness and width? How do I determine they can handle charging and discharging efficiently without over heating?
As for the washers and nuts, is zinc coated okay or should I be thinking stainless? I notice that my studs are probably only a zinc coated steel. I say this because of their color and the fact that they are magnetic. The batteries will be in a travel trailer and protected from weather.
