UPGRADE TIME! Expanding my Ethos Big Battery from 10kWh to 20kWh!

[@MatthewYBarbo]

Great job explaining how to parallel the Ethos batteries! Glad to see you were able to double your storage , and you are very clear with your teachings. Really enjoyed this watch!

These batteries are so nice. They install quickly and work with the EG4 seamlessly. I am very happy with the setup.

The top battery should be #3.

[@DIYVolts]

Is there a reason for that? Because the communication cable connects to the bottom battery I assumed the top battery is the last in the series. Technically they are all in parallel.

[@52gulfpapa]

@DIYVolts You were right. When I watched it again, the 2 bottom batterues needed to be connected for communication.

That’s the most not thought out battery stack ever I know every manufacturer/supplier wants to be unique but having the batteries stack up vertically is just stupid to be honest So you’ve cables running from one stack to the next which are a strip hazard and potentially dangerous

It works well for my space. The footprint is far less than a horizontal orientation cabinet. As for the cables... If someone trips on those they have other issues to worry about. the cables are along the wall and out of the way. The modular design is great for my location because I could not fit the eg4 15k batteries. They are too tall.
