High current flexible bus bars to parallel your batteries or connect components.
The product page will be live on the website soon.
We’ve designed a set of bus bars to help ensure people can quickly and safely parallel their batteries. While they have been designed for PowerPaul batteries, they will also suit many others on the market.
Available as a pair in an arc style shape for use with batteries side by side, or straight for batteries mounted end to end, we’ve got your needs covered.
They are 25 x 3mm conductor area, produced from 30 x 0.1mm copper layers that have been laminated and plated at the ends. Current rating is suggested to be at least 400A. Because there are no crimps, the resistance is kept to an absolute minimum (0.2 & 0.4mΩ). The holes are for M8 fixings, but can easily be drilled out to 10mm or even M12if necessary (best to use a deep step drill).
The flexibility means complete removal of stresses on terminals which can eventually cause fatigue when in vibration prone environments. It also means batteries can be butting together or you can have a slight air gap (10mm for Scout, 20mm for Cub).
They don’t just connect battery to battery either, they can form connections to Shunts, Fuses, Isolation Switches, links to Inverters and other distribution systems. They can be used direct to the battery or via MRBF fuses.
We will also have some caps to protect and insulate the joins available soon.
Will the 25 mm width cause difficulty getting them into the slots in inverters, bus bars or switches?
If the hole is smaller than 27mm (that’s the size including heatshrink), then you may need to do some modifications to the hole. This is quite a common thing for installers to do already.
I was thinking of using them from the fuse blocks/bus bars into a renogy 3000 and from those to the battery
Should work nicely, however the small caps that Renogy supply won’t fit around the bar.
These look great. Just want to confirm that these are flexible enought to fit Scout Lite butted hard against each other in Parallel
Yes they will do that just fine.
Hi, The setup I have has the terminals place at approx 170mm apart, are these flexible enough that they can be manipulated and bent to connect?
Yes you should be able to fit them for that width.
