Make sure the input pos cable on left one is BELOW the cable between them, so you don't needlessly flow the whole current through both lugs. Same thing for right output, put the cable between units on top of the main output cable. No washers between anything except on the very top of stack.

Thanks Dave, I will keep that in mind when installing. Do you think i got the wire sizes correct?

2/0 lug is gonna be hard to get on there. I'd suggest getting buss bars as it makes everything easier. Wire size looks good though

If not bus bars than a power post would help the 2/0 transition. How long if a run is the 2/0 wire?

Can get these as singles as well. Then just short piece of smaller wire to get onto the oriona.
