Many I have spoken with will order these thru Storm Power Componets, you just have to have the measurements, so they can make them up. On Tue, Apr 30, 2019, 3:44 PM Starlight Solar Power Systems < la...@starlightsolar.com> wrote: > Hi Drake, > > The way I wire them is to place them side by side

Sorry for the short response... For electrochemical batteries, it would be temperatures or air cooling maybe ventilation. For Lithium batteries, there is electronics internally, high altitudes would affect cooling, and the components.. On Tue, Apr 30, 2019, 2:54 PM Darryl Thayer wrote: > I t

Hi Wrenches, We are often working at higher elevation. I have a project that I'm specifying a large battery bank at 9800'. I haven't thought much about elevation and batteries. I just recently read that LG Chem's HV battery can't be used above 2000m. What are the elevation considerations for b

I make custom bus bars for Concorde and Fullriver. Which battery are you installing, 12150 or 9150? Contact me directly and I’ll see if have what you need in stock. Thank you, Maverick > On Apr 30, 2019, at 11:26 AM, Drake > wrote: > > Hello Wrenches, > > I am wiring a set of 2 V Concord

Hello Wrenches, I am wiring a set of 2 V Concorde batteries for 48 V. Each battery has 2 terminals which will be about 2 1/2 inches away from the terminals they will be wired to. Standard battery jumpers would be ridiculous in this situation. Busbars would be clean and efficient. Concorde doe

Why not use a couple of micro inverters? You'd have to check the specs to see if they're compatible but that may work. Thanks, Will White -- *Will White* Curriculum Developer e: w...@solarenergy.org w: www.solarenergy.org p: 802-272-3092 NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional # 093006
