I'm planning on paralleling four LifePower 48V 100AH rack mount batteries. My original plan was to make a bunch of cables for them from 4/0. The terminals allow cables to run up/down so my plan was to run from one terminal to the next in the rack. BUT... recent Will video he mentioned, "of course if you were using more than one battery, you might want to use a busbar" - is he suggesting running everything to a busbar with terminals (which I have seen but don't see a huge advantage) OR is the suggestion to get copper stock, drill out where terminals are, and "hard connect" all the batteries.
Searchs for "busbar" mainly turned up the former. For those who have made busbars to connect their batteries, what did you use for insulation for the exposed copper between batteries?
