<p>I was told specifically by Midnite Tech support that the AIO was
designed for parallel conductors. There isn't anything in the
manual that contradicts that, that I'm aware of. </p>
<p> I have never considered 2 lugs on a single bolt a violation.
Its when two conductors go into a single lug that is not designed
for 2 conductors, that it's considered double lugging. If 2 lugs
on one bolt were not legal, how in the world would you ever wire
L16s, golf cart batteries, etc. in parallel? </p>

<div>I have done several systems where we just paralleled
two batteries on the battery terminals, just like we'd
do with lead acid batteries, with a reverse return for
the home runs. With the active balancing, the reverse
return is apparently not as important, but I still think
it's best practice.</div>

<div>MidNite Power is working on a custom gutter/wiring
box for coupling the PF16's directly to the AIO, but not
sure on timeline for it. I've seen a few really nice
installs where someone used a standard 10" gutter with
cutouts in it directly on top of the PF16's, then set
the AIO's on top of that. No exposed wiring or even
conduit showing.</div>
