Im building a 560ah 24 volt battery with the eve grade a cells. The ones ive ordered have the dual bolt holes in each terminal. Ive ordered 2 jkbms with 2 amp active balancers. Hopeit all works well. I ha e been running my camper with 24 leaf modules at 24 volts for about a year but the addition of the lifepo4 should power the camper and the leaf batteries will only power the air-conditioning now. The ac is a 38 seer minisplit and 220 volt. Its ran by a sungold power 110v/220v split phase inverter. The rest of the camper is ran by a 3000 watt all in one inverter solar charge controller and i have 1800 watts of panels. The ac and the sungold power with leaf cells has their own 100 amp charge controller and im still needing to buy more solar panels for that side of the system. Once i install the lifepo4 it will be 2 seperate systems as to now its just one system by sharing the leaf batteries. This off grid lifestyle is trully amazing and i wish id gotten started in this journey years ago. Thanks for the videos it helps a lot of us new to this

@@manwithfewwords3954 woe that's a lot of battery storage. You must have some high amp draw appliances or maybe just wanting several days of reserve power. I was able to be off grid with just my 24 leaf modules and 1800 watts of solar but I added the minisplit and even tho it barely uses any power it still made it where I needed more storage power. I got the 16 eve cells and this should be enough for me to be off grid while I'm home in the holiday rambler. My real home is in this semi truck lol. I spend a minimum of 26 days a month in the truck but the 4 days I get to be home I'm off grid

Manwithfewwords, I have not clearly defined my question. From each pack of 8 cells, the + goes to a switch and then to a box. That's where the 4 cables come together to go to the inverter - I think. Likewise with the -. It's these "boxes" I'm talking about. You have a very clear installation. Regards. Willy.
