Photo or it didn't happen. We put together one set of LiFePO4 cells to run and see how it works, run wires measure things up etc. The battery terminals are laser welded in the shop (never seen that anywhere before) and done the way I want, there are some options. Had to cover all the battery terminals so as not to drop a spanner or link bar across the cells, just wire up one at a time.
The cells (on the left 200AH) were configured in 2 rows and room for another set later on the right. Did get another set later when they were on special, connected to a separate inverter/charger and separate house wiring, house was wired that way. My father is getting older and not as tolerable (aircon installed) to hot humid or cold weather, (and putting up with ME) he has earned and deserves to survive a little longer and have the place a bit more livable, overall usage over night is about 4 to 5Kwh.
I always learn more when doing the work myself, manufactures, products, quality control and personal experience quite often varies.
