Greetings from Southern California and Thank You for the information shared here.
My relatively simple installation includes two 160AH Victron batteries. I’m looking for opinions on their parallel cabling and connecting.
Simple / traditional cabling at the battery posts with positive from one battery and negative from the other ?? With equal length cables.
Bus bar connection via a Linx Distributor ?? And if via a Linx - connections at the main bus bar connectors or at the fused connection points ?? I’ve seen both in several installation diagrams…
In all of my previous similar work - it’s always been recommended to have the battery shutoff switch on the negative side of a battery. I’ve noticed that Victron installations seem to prefer this switch on the positive side…. Can anyone explain why ??
And… this shutoff switch on the positive side ought to have a pre-charge circuit incorporated - correct ??
All answers and comments are sincerely appreciated
Thanks again,
SW
