I am connecting two M10 Power In’s with a shunt between them. One unit will have the 4 battery connections on it and the other side is all the inputs like External Chargers, Inverter/charger etc. I would like to have those big terminals go out of the unit on the right side instead of the left side (I don’t want to turn it upside down if possible) I am looking at one of the units and am starting to wonder if the bus bars inside can be reversed so the part that extends out of the unit can be on the right side? i see that there is a small plastic plate that can be removed and switched to the other side, But looking closely it the bars the Phillips screws aren’t placed symmetrically. The engineers couldn’t have been that shortsighted, could they? -Bill PS. I had to use the Distributor Tag as power in isn’t a choice and it wouldn’t let me edit it. ---

Yikes! I took off the negative side bus bar. I see no way to reverse it. Am I missing the obvious? It would not make sense that they wouldn’t make it able to do that. It is a simple plastic part that could have easily been made to an easy swap. Tell me I am hallucinating. Please! ---

From the pictures I would say that its not possible because the holes/screws/bolts are not symmetrical. ---

Yeah, the engineering guys blew that one, what a simple design change if someone took a minute to think about its use in the real world. I cannot believe I will have to install this upside down, I guess they figured they messed up so they engineered a sticker to make it all better when used upside down. 🙃
