12V LiFePO4 battery box

A day. A short can start a fire. Fuse every source. Follow the battery maker. This is not a house system.

Follow local codes and permits. Use a licensed pro where required for structural, electrical, or plumbing work. Verify every measurement before you cut.

  1. Read the battery sheet for fuse size and charge limits.
  2. Put the fuse as close to the positive post as you can.
  3. Add a disconnect you can reach.
  4. Keep metal tools off the posts.
  5. Do not put it in a bedroom or a sealed hot box.
  6. Stop and hire a licensed electrician if this ties to a house.
