Battery choice: one string or two? [RE-wrenches]

[Tom Elliot, Guffey Energy Works]

I guess this is where I step in and mention buss bars.  A single string is
prone to failure of the entire bank if only one cell fails, something you
would have to design for, IMO, because it is always possible to get a flawed
battery that doesn't show its true colors until it's been in use for a
while.  With a buss bar you don't "daisy chain" and have the problems that
brings but you have the redundancy you need to protect from problems.
