Best way to wIre up a diy battery pack

[toddbailey]

HI all,

I'm building a lifepo4 battery pack using 8 12v 16 ah batteries made by Miady and sold on amazon.
I'm targeting 48v @ 32ah, this means I'll have 2 sets of 4 batteries in series.

the easiest way to get capacity is to just parallel the connection at 48 volt leads
another method I've seen is to parallel each of the batteries.


any thoughts?


thanks
