    I will be wiring in my prolong grid charger harness this week and saw in the installation photos you have to open up the battery. Purchased some new bus bars as well. Can the bus bars be installed with the battery in place or do I need to take it out of the car? Thanks

    Copper plates can be changed without removing the battery from the car.
    The main thing is to follow safety precautions. Disconnect the orange connector!
    Carefully unscrew the nuts so as not to short-circuit the terminals of adjacent modules.
