Update video. I built battery cables and began the conditioning process.
First was building a buss bar and battery cables for these big 48v LiFePO4 batteries. Each cable is the same length and was made from used Army jumper cables. The buss bars are housed inside plastic electrical boxes. I used an old piece of copper pipe as my buss bar material.
After wiring them up to my inverter I began the conditioning process. I wanted to take things easy in the beginning. This means very low amps to charge and discharge. My very first charge, I brought the packs up to 56 volts. Then I discharged them to 48 volts. I think this is a good range to use, but would love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you to LIthiumSolar for your suggestion on the fuses.
