Removing terminals from an inverter my positive and negative terminals touched due to the floppiness and proximity of the positive and negative, lasted about 3-5 seconds. Sadly my big wires would no longer power the inverter so I investigated.
-— the + and - touched, big spark. Battery won’t work.
long story short, all cells are fine but i Now have a faulty bus bar. Considering the bar is made of copper wire filaments wrapped in rubber I am confused to say the least.
—- it’s the big wire connecting 2 of the cells!
The individual 2 cells of the bus bar connection are fine 2v each, try them together expecting 4v I get 0v. The chain of batteries before and after the faulty bus bar are fine too.
— everything works it’s just one bus bar
any thoughts on the situation would be be Helpful, i literally just bought an iconica 3000w mppt which lead me to this issue. Reading the customer service email regarding the internal ground screw and it’s advise to completely remove the terminals before doing this i instead of simply pulling the plug to the battery decided to remove the whole system. My mistake in all its gory detail.
