Glenn,
Thank you for that good information.
Where do you find the specifications relating cross sectional area to
amperage? Section 366.23 of the NEC allows 1000 A / sq. in. of cross
sectional area of the conductor. Is that a good rule of thumb, or is
there something more specific to battery busing?

I have always bought the appropriately sized for the anticipated
current, copper bar stock from McMaster Carr and cut, drilled and
applied heat shrink myself…

SUBJECT: [RE-wrenches] Bus bar battery jumpers
Hello Wrenches,
I am wiring a set of 2 V Concorde batteries for 48 V. Each battery has
2 terminals which will be about 2 1/2 inches away from the terminals
they will be wired to. Standard battery jumpers would be ridiculous in
this situation. Busbars would be clean and efficient. Concorde doesn't
have a solution.
Does anyone know of a source for busbars?
Thank you,
Drake
