Lenny HB LennyIf you use the right size.
Received that today and it looks reasonably well built. They can take up to at least 25smm and probably more at a push. But there is no way that you can use lugs on them with the cover on and even then the hole and lug would have to be small (4mm hole). They are designed to hold the cable by pushing the cable into the tube and screwing the grub screw down onto the cable. Would that work? It seems to be the way that the 16smm cables are fixed to the back of the EBL. Or could I get a solid cable end lug to fit to the end of the cable and clamp the grub screw down on that?
I also have several other cables of smaller diameter attached to the positive node of my present set up. Don't know what they are for because they were there when I bought it new. I also have a cable to my inverter as well as the cable to the positive node of the other battery. So to make this work I think I may need some more fused attachment points. Not sure how many there are and it is raining so I will leave it to the morning to check. So I am not sure whether this goes back to Amazon or not.
Ditcha DavePeter when I fitted my setup I already had a schaudt 25amp B2B fitted, I left all the wiring the same from the ebl although mine is a ebl 242-1.I found when I changed it the fridge relay never worked when engine running.
Attached is a fag packet sketch of how mine is wired and is working fine although I have disabled the ebl charger and now use the charger on my multiplus. If your KS lithiums are okay with a charge on a gel setting then there is no need for you to do this but you will only have 18amp but to be fair I have never used the mains charger yet as the solar seems to up to the job but will see in the winter.
I would wire your solar straight to the batteries, and if you have a bluetooth mppt you can monitor everything there and on your shunt instead of your control panel but either way should be fine.

Zoom in and you can see the wires at the back of the ebl and my b2b(blue) attached to the back of the seat.

I don't think the terminals at the back of my EBL are big enough to accommodate 2 x 16sm cables And I have more existing wires to accommodate that I am not sure where they go. But I don't want to risk stop anything working by leaving them out. And they may not reach to the only place I think I want to put the buss bar.
