I had the parallel wires to battery bank, and saw you could save the parallel pos. wire between batteries, by putting one pos converter to battery wire on one and one to the other. That made the split into also being the pos parallel link.
This ASSumed you would get half to each battery and each battery would supply half. I was not able to measure how it actually worked, but it worked somehow.
I was not able to do the same on the neg side because of the Trimetric shunt. It took the two parallel neg wires, but had one fat one from the shunt to battery, so I still needed the parallel neg link between batteries.
Eventually, I changed my set- up yet again and didn't have that arrangement anymore.
Oh I see.. But I have #2 between batts for the parallel cables. Dont want to risk throughput with smaller wire.
Especially when drawing upwards of 83 amps off batts for short burst with inverter.
Coffee maker, toaster oven...etc...
It was a thought.. Its together but I dont like the two wires coming off breaker to the batts..
I found a piece of #3 red and will need to find ring terminals is all..
But its done.. Ill test again when I can..
