      That was the original picture - the OP has them in a custom steel case prior to the fire.

      Agreed - in this case they are spares in my house at 72F so just a bit below standard. They are just laying on the bench and not in...

      The OP posted in that thread that he replaced all the bad cells in/around the leaking one. That was also from 2021 if I remember the...

      OK, here are the results of the fuses I happen to have laying around - all values in ohms - 4 wire 1035+ meter Class T 300a = 0.00025...

      Do more research, it doesn't take a ton of the $200 inverters before you can buy a full size spare. With bypass diodes if a panel...

      I just happen to have a class T fuse and a 4 wire milliohm meter downstairs. I'll check the resistance in the morning to see what it says.

      Yall are missing one qualifier. The more complex a task the more trips to the hardware store. And the less planning or more beer that...

      What voltage was that at and how does it compare to the class T. I only looked at the aic and time curves

      Microinverters - you might want to rethink those. Unless your panels are in a place to get shade at some point in the day there is no...

      Actually, this looks most promising for time curves and interupt current.. not as good as a class T in several respects, but better...

      Tidbit about the NH fuses - this makes picking the right fuseable link difficult. You have to derate by half the ampacity and also...

      So one thing I notice in all the pictures of the battery cells. It appears there is no separator between the individual cells? Seems...

      Make sure when you rebuild you have ionizing smoke detectors verse just the standard optical/heat ones. The ionizing ones can go off...
