Bus Bars - 150A rated ok?
Have 500AH battery (LIFePO4) and a 3000 watt Samlex inverter. Wiring is all going through bus bars. I made an order to get new ones, received Blue Seas 4 post rated at 150 amps. I thought I had ordered rated at 250 amp. Question is, do I really need to go to 250 amp (return and re-order) - what's my risk? Real world high draw use is occasional microwave, coffee maker, etc.
Other question is, I originally had 4x100 AH batteries all wired with 00 gauge welding wire. To add the new 5th one (bought within a few months of the others), I have some spare 0000 wire to make the cable (all wiring from batteries to bus bar is same length), ok to use or do I really need to find some 00 to make everything uniform?
