Luyuan battery case

[JJJJ]

have NO SHARPS AT ALL

A great idea. When messing around in my battery case, the only concern I want it keeping my tools clear of battery terminals and being careful not to pull anything out of place once assembled. An untimely oops can really mess up the day.

Sorry it was just a mockup to see if it will fit, I didn’t mean to trigger any ones OCD I am going to adapt or change the angle to be more pleasurable on the eyes. I am not using the inverter model BBS so I have more room.

And it will be covered. And with my ocd I will probably have to paint the angle as well.

Well just got a shipment update, showing up today instead of Monday and it should have my 2ga silicon wire. Just need some 2ga 90 degree lugs.

What about swapping the positive and negative terminal around, so the fuse is not anywhere near the negative?

 

[S Davis]

Any one have a source for good quality cast lugs?

That is a good idea, I would have to make a couple extra cables for the negative. But I have some Eriflex flexibar 3/32/1 that I could probably use between the fuse and main positive.

Ok that was a great idea, I just need to make a little link bar. It lines up almost perfectly.




Ok made a link bar from a cell buss bar.



Trimmed the bar a little for a little more clearance.

Better BUT I had a heart palpation when I saw all that Open Unprotected Steel. A flash in my mind of what would happen if a piece of metal bridges that connect to (+) and the bracket etc... 1 oopsie Flash = 1 Bad Day.


1) I would at minimum put heat shrink to cover the busbar from Fuse to Terminal. Also I would shorten the M8 Bolt so not so much thread is exposed. "Murphy Temptation".

2) Your Angle Bracket ! PLEASE TRIM THAT DOWN ! get rid of excess and really make sure it is all "soft edged" so nothing sharp...
Another Murphy Temptation".

Never EVER provide temptations / Invitations for Murphy to come and apply his laws onto you. Straight from the Lesson Learned pile of Crisis Management, Rule 1 being Prevent the crisis in the first place !

I have a ton of lugs just no 90 degree, I am going to need 8 for the eight class T fuses. I will check them out.

 

[S Davis]

Box five and six showed up, and the 2 ga 200c silicone wire was in this order.

2 ga 200c silicone wire was in this order.

I was impressed with this wire. Very flexible and easy to work with.

but that unprotected steel is near a protected “bus bar” of the class t, correct? Maybe your concern would be for the other end of the class t?

Either was it was an easy fix.

Look in here, sure they have what you need.

I’d rather bend selterm lugs into 90 vs alibaba units.

I like the selterm, has the UL stamped right on.

 

[740GLE]

Agreed some how I’ve built a war chest of them at 4awg and 2/0 in 3/8, 5/16 and 1/4. Kinda ready for what my build will need.

That is the quality I have been buying from DelCity electrical supply, thanks.

$10 a lug? that’s a spicy meatball.

These might be good - https://remybattery.com/cable-conne...erminals/magna-lug-heavy-duty-connectors.html

I see Signature Solar sells some Magnalug connectors

Thanks that is about half of what I have been finding them for. On a off chance I am having my local Allphase check on pricing, usually I can find stuff cheaper on line though even having an account with them for over 20 years.



My EriFlex arrived, just need to figure out where it goes.

Found some straight lugs at my local electrical supply house for $4.38 each and they bend ok.
