Title: Battery inter-connect sizing
Post by: madlabs on April 14, 2013, 09:33:05 am
Hi All,

Getting close to switching over to 48V from 12V system. The new inverters are on the wall and I am starting to trudge through wiring the whole mess up.

Anyhoo, I will have 8 * 6V golf cart batts. Eventually there will be 3-4 similar banks in parallel. What size should I use for the battery inter-connects? Seems that 2/0 should be enough. Please don't tell me I need 4/0 like I ran to the inverter.
