Alexdb7 Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 most people just make their own, do you have a drill press or know someone who does?

audiofanaticz Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Kind of a waste of time and money to make buss bars for just 2 batteries dont ya think? In reality a quality brand of 1/0 in short 2 feet lengths will handle well over 900 amps if not more (the 300 amp ratings on 1/0 wire is usually for a 15-18 foot piece of wire. A shorter piece of cable will handle well more then triple the current if not more). And if need be, you can always double it up. Other then that, a buss bar is just a piece of metal with holes drilled in it. All you need is copper or a lesser conductor like aluminum, measure out your needed spacing to line up the holes on the batteries. Dont even really need a drill press, you could get away with putting the bars in a vice and using a regular drill. Then depending if you want to use a bolt with a nut on the other side to secure your wires to it, or you can get a tap & die, and thread the holes you drilled, which will take a tad more time to make, but you wont have to worry about a nut on the other side of a bolt.
