Thanks guys. |
Not sure what your cables/barriers look like since I started on the ETX16s but here is a pic of mine with the provided barrier sitting ontop. Since I don't have 3x PC680s yet, I couldn't use the barrier as my ETX16 starter battery terminals are facing right which made it not sit with the holder/terminal wood block ontop.
I think with 3x PC680s it would sit fine though.
For connecting the two batteries together I am sure thick gauge wire would be fine if you could secure it. Personally I think using a copper bar would be cleaner and simpler. You can purchase a bar from McMaster-carr with approximate dimensions of 6" long x 0.5" wide x 1/8" thick ($2.45 + ship), cut off the excess length you don't need, and drill two holes for the bolts to go through and you're good to go.
