How did you get the SOB up top?
All I can say is. “What.a RACK!!!”View attachment 111603
Full size 20MB shot could only be linked.
I used heat shrink on the busbars and covered those extra terminals with furniture leg levelers and some 5/8" ID grommets.
More info and pix can be found in my about:member section.

So, what, exactly, is the expectation one should have regarding current sharing amongst larger server rack batteries? I have noticed they stay balanced until a big load hits, then they go way out of whack.Did you notice any improvement in current sharing or was it about the same?
Adding four more just added more differences. I wonder if the lower temperature at the bottom cause a larger variance than cable length?Did you notice any improvement in current sharing or was it about the same?
Yes the plexiglass shield was cut to fit. It'd be nice to have swinging doors, but winter is coming and that's the woodroom. Plus there are lots of other projects on the list.Were those custom glass doors?

I built a heavy duty wood workbench, two shelves, 30" x 84", covered in cement board. It holds 143kWh or 2000 lbs. Glued and screwed. $300.I see you are using a wood enclosure. I have built a wood rack.
Just wondering everyone’s thought about the use of wood.
A caution from SS: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/lifepo4-battery-site-fire-safety.36695/
My thoughts are applying a fire retardant on the wood.
Looking for any opinions on best products out there for this.
Here are a couple of examples:
Fire Retardant Spray for Wood | Flame Retardant for Wood | FlameStop.com™
FlameStop™ fire reatardant spray and application for wood. Penetrates and bonds with the wood for over 5 years. Dries clear. Used by the U.S. Air Force.www.flamestop.com
Well, of course, they sell metal racks!!I see you are using a wood enclosure. I have built a wood rack.

Ya, I understand that. The installer that I bought my LifePO4 batteries from said they were perfectly safe and gave me the thumbs up on my in home installation. Since then, I have been reading a lot of cautions posted here. So that is why I’m thinking about treating wood with a fire retardant and looking for any experience with the products out there.Well, of course, they sell metal racks!!
I’ve use a material called Fire-proof before in my generator shed. Have no idea if it works for battery fires. My impression is that they burn super hot. I’m a lot more concerned about my inverter, which I mounted on flame proof board. That thing gets pretty hot when it’s cranking at full wattage.Ya, I understand that.

Thanks.
I "stood-off" my inverter from the backer by 3.5 inches (An alum clad 2 x 4) at the top and the bottom (an MPP LV6548 so it's only 60# or so) to allow for airflow behind the unit and to keep the hot bits from actually resting against anything.I’m a lot more concerned about my inverter,
