[RE-wrenches] Blue Planet 8kWh instllation

[Kirk Herander]

That seems very odd that that pos cable(to the breaker/ bmu) does not
reach. I've done partial 2.0's before and that lead could reach any pos
battery terminal, regardless of the shelf it's on. Am I missing something?
Maybe 48v HI leads are different. I heat shrinked the unconnected busbar
length as a sanity check, but I doubt they would ever tilt to potentially
short on the chassis.
