I have a 440ah 4 X 110ah battery bank wired for 12volt. they are a couple months old.
I wish to procure 4 more of the same type battery hopefully close to same batch number or should i sell the 4 i have and get 8 at once?
Also i understand that wireing 4 in parallel and taking the tap off to the charge controller from the nearest one is not always the best. what is?
currently they are all wired using exactly the same length 4ga cabling except for the take off pair going to the fuse/disconnect then to the Outback MX-60.
Should i put the take off pair one battery on either end? or put one cable on the positive on one battery then the other on the negative terminal on the battery farthest from the controller?
If so why? what makes the best use for loading? And of course longevity.
thanks in advance.
