They had all the amps hooked up to one spot on the battery bank. Trying to pull a couple thousand amps off one battery and one piece of 1/0 to the rest of the batts will cause some problems. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gifso what ended up being the problem, the front batt ground wire?, to the frame?

You can see in this pic that all the amps are hooked up to that battery all the way on the right. They put a bussbar on there and ran everything to that. The sad thing is that someone in the 12v industry told them to run it like that. Why, I have no idea.
Now they wired all the batts together like before, but now each amp is wired up to its own battery terminal (8 amps and 8 kinetik batts) so the current draw is spread evenly across the whole bank.
You run multiple amps and battery banks?Fail
that's not even a complicated problem that's common sense
It is a comon mistake that folks make with large systems. I think this is his first "big" competition build.
I'm just sayin that shoulda been one of his first thoughts, but i guess having someone trusted as an installer tell you its the RIGHT way to do it kinda would make you not think about itIt is a comon mistake that folks make with large systems.
