Buss bar to wire size
« on: November 07, 2009, 05:09:09 AM »
I have 16 12volt 17ah AGM batteries.What the best way to wire. I have solid copper flat bar for interconnection.


I can go all 16 in line, two banks of 8 or 4 banks of 4. What's best for equal load on all batteries. Thanks


I have copper flat bar, 1/2 inch by 1/4 inch. What wire size would this is equal to?
