Is this bus bar OK?

[Hayes]

I would like to add a bus bar to my over-crowded battery.
Thinking of running maybe ~120 amps worth of crap through it.

Would this one be OK to use?

Not sure about interpreting the rating.
It says 150 amps at 48 volts.
Does that mean it will handle 600 amps at 12 volts??

I'm failing my amps/volts/watts test miserably today.

Link does not work.

Answer to your question: 37.5 amps.

Actually, now that I think about it, it should handle the same amperage at any voltage.

I agree with Capt. Jim. It will carry the same amperage regardless whether 48vdc or 12vdc. Now ac might be a different story...When I installed my winch I cleaned up the miscellanous stuff from my battery using a power distribution post from this company: https://www.stellmar.com/content/electromech/electro_mech.php

It's nice quality and less expensive than West Marine, but there is a minimum order. But you can fill that up purchasing rubber boots, military-style battery clamps, etc.

Are you sure you need a bus bar? You can fit a lot on a 5/16" stud. The bus bar would be more organized, but will take up a lot more room.

The one on top is the ground.
