Shouldn’t matter. But we’ll get to see what happensSo you decided to have all batteries of the same brand/ model, to avoid problems with different BMS?
How about different versions of the BMS - December vs March Software update?
Yeah but then I wouldn’t have a big sexy blue box strapped to the wall @42OhmsPA lmaoKind of crazy you could DIY ~15.5kWh for about the same price after you factor in shipping, a BMS, Class T fuse, and enclosure.

Yes it does make more sense but I don’t trust myself enough for that project. Maybe one dayNaked cells are blue too. Take that sungold Cindy
**My Solar Exploits**
Just got my March Xcel bill (for electricity and natural gas)
Approximately the same weather/temps
Electricity this year (with my solar power system) $20.02 / 92 kWh - Last year $72.23 / 469 kWh
Natural gas this year $49.64 42 therms - last year $65.88 58 therms (I did keep the thermostat about the same but did use space heaters more this year)
Sungold website now shows the AIO 10k as model number SPH10048P replacing previous version SPH10K48SP. Now stating units support parallel https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0323/4090/2025/files/SPH8-10kw_manual.pdf

Thanks. One thing I do like about the liquid tight lines (although by code they should be metal) is that I am keeping all my + - lines completely separated until reaching appliance or device. I feel like this reduces risks of faulty insulation, heat, or damage to wires that could result in a potential arc fault. I may upgrade to a wire raceway one day I guess, but for now I feel ok with it.Looks very clean
My understanding is that best practice is to keep positive and negative cables pairs bundled together to minimize magnetic effects?Thanks.

Final images of install. I am going to let it ride now and work on other projects. I made it through the entire night last night on batteries, first time that’s happened. Happy with everything so far, buss bar project worked out very well, I am proud of that. Cheers
