We try to use the bus bar design, and to keep all of the cable lengths (a) as short as possible and (b) the same length.

Subject: Battery strings [RE-wrenches]







I am putting together a pack of 12 L-16's @ 24 volts and am wondering if

there is a definite opinion on what works better, connecting at the corners

of the pack or running each string to it's own buss bar and from there to

the inverter. 

I have seen failures of the major positive and negative when corner

connected.  I assume from the all the banks current running through the

connections. I have also heard suggestions to rearrange the battery bank

during it's life. (too much like work) 

Has anyone had better luck with each string going to a bus bar then to the

inverter? Similar to the "big buss" that Outback used to make?

 

Thanks,

Bob
