Renogy 170ah bateries in parallel

[Hooterville]

I have 3 Renogy 170ah lithium batteries that will be wired in parallel. I found a few threads on this site with paralell balance issues with the batteries in a parallel application.

The renogy website adresses parallel wiring of their 12 volt lithium batteries and they are recommending that once wired in parallel that both wires that feed the load center originate from only one of the batteries, battery A.

Other brands brands, as well as normal best practice indicates that the load wires be fed from the first and last batteries, battery A +, and battery C - in a 3 battery setup.

Any insights into why Renogy appears to be not following the normal best practice wiring convention for parallel wiring? Are the issues with balance problems related to the different methods of wiring?

I guess you wouldn't really know unless you periodically separated the batteries and tested/charged them individually.

hmmm .. if the battery cables are of sufficient gauge and the connections are properly made, the load/charging should be relatively evenly distributed amongst all parallel connected battery terminals, so it should make little electrical difference which terminals you connect your load to.
