[QUOTE="arwooldridge, post: 539023, member: 35807"] Hi Bob, I have the Solax 5.8 batteries. The recommended spacing I think is just to give you more room to get to the terminals on each side. I put mine a bit closer at 175mm space between which is just enough to get to the terminals. I also have the BMS parrallel box II. Definitely the way to go if thinking of expanding in future, otherwise the T58 master becomes redundant. They only supply fairly short leads for the battery to BMS box (or inverter) one end of the lead is standard MC4 but the other (battery side) is a different make. I use MC4 leads as extension though, Need 10AWG or 6mm2 cable though for the current.the manual puts one string above the other to make the short leads work. But I did not like putting that weight so high.(they should be wall mounted no sitting right on floor) manual recommends impractically short distance to batteries not sure why though. I guess keep the two leads tightly close together to minimise loop magnetics/EMP pulse affecting electronics. I have 2 strings of 4 (on X3 Hybrid plus BMS box) all in one row so takes up a lot of wall run though. [/QUOTE]
