I've got three solar chargers - two Victron 150/70 TRs and a hybrid controller for both wind and solar. I'm thinking of swapping out the turbine eventually, but that's not my priority right now. What I'm struggling with is how to effectively connect these three chargers together. I've noticed when I try to connect too many wires to the terminals, there are issues and power doesn't flow from the battery to the controllers. I also tried a battery post terminal, but I faced the same trouble. I'm considering using a busbar for the connections, with one wire going from the busbar to the terminals for both positive and negative connections. Is that safe?

Definitely! Using a common busbar is a great way to connect multiple chargers. It simplifies your setup and allows for better organization of your wires. Just make sure the busbar is rated for the total current you'll be drawing so that it can handle the load without overheating.
Yeah, I’ve had success with this setup before. Just double-check the connections to make sure they’re tight and secure.
That's reassuring to hear! I didn't want to risk damaging my equipment by experimenting too much. Appreciate the advice!
