Hi John, Here's my post on this subject
http://www.corbinstreehouse.com/blog/2011/01/plug-bug-battery-bus-bars/ I am using 1/8" by 1" copper bar stock. Works fine to pull 500+amps through it. I regularly pull 300amps through it with no problem and no heat buildup. corbin On May 4, 2014, at 2:14 PM, John Lussmyer <cou...@casadelgato.com> wrote: > So, I'm updating my F250 to use Nissan Leaf modules. > 3 modules in parallel, 40 sets in series. > Trying to figure out bus bar size I'll need. > Truck cruises at 60mph, at about 125A.
