Just use an XL model, they already have the connector for external batteries, and they have a heftier charger than the models that only have the internal batteries. If you don’t want to make your own Powerpole cables, you can get them made to order by Powerwerx. Welding cable is nice.

Weve gone to not running the internal battery since they like to expand and you cant get them out, and just running external packs. Schneider only has a low wattage DIN mount one that does this. any of you guys every pulled the guts and not started a fire?

Their “consumer” line that you can buy at Walmart and staples are junk unless you need something for your desktop computer only. If you buy the server room/data center versions they are much more robust. We’ve been using them for 18+ years and I enjoy that they let me sleep at night.
