I had a issue with my new EG4 batteries and tech support suggested that I put them through a series of charge/discharge cycles in open loop since I am not sure if I had them withing 1 volt of each other when I put them into service. Since I am going open loop for a while I decided I may as well just connect up my previous Fortress battery as well and get them all in sync now instead of doing this all over again.
Now the question is what Busbar do I use. I see the Victron Lynx Distributor is rated at 1000A. Does anyone know if this will accept a 4/0 conductor? I know the sheath thickness has something to do with it, but someone may have experience and can let me know if it fits easily or not at all.
Seeing as I have now 3 EG4 powerpro batteries at 200A max, and I want to add in a Fortress 18.5k also at 200A. Will this device handle the current for this system? I had a 4/0 going to my Fortress, but the EG4's use a 2/0 conductor.
I have plans to add a 4th EG4 soon. What would be my options then? I really want a busbar that has a cover. I did see the ones at Signature Solar, but they are only rated for 600A.
I am not against making one myself, and I read that the size is based on the cross section of the conductor used. Would this be adding the area of all the conductors together to determine the size of the Busbar?
