These are the L16H-AC batteries.

connection blocks should be tinned copper, not steel, which is a poor choice (rust, resistance, thermal issues)Powerfab top of pole PV mount (2) | Listeroid 6/1 w/st5 gen head | XW6048 inverter/chgr | Iota 48V/15A charger | Morningstar 60A MPPT | 48V, 800A NiFe Battery (in series)| 15, Evergreen 205w "12V" PV array on pole | Midnight ePanel | Grundfos 10 SO5-9 with 3 wire Franklin Electric motor (1/2hp 240V 1ph ) on a timer for 3 hr noontime run - Runs off PV ||

12V audio wire for a 48V battery system? http://www.audiopipe.com/index.php?r...product_id=239
You need to get rid of all of those cables and buy properly crimped battery cables.Solar Queen

The CM of a #4 gauge wire would be the same (depending on the number of strands) regardless of the type of insulation. Is it possible that Audiopipe cable may just barely be rated 50v which would not work well all the time on a 48volt system.Comment

I didn't see any voltage rating on the insulation for that wire.

So your concern that the OP is using this AudioPipe wire on a 48volt battery system is a good catch. I just don't know what the spec is on that wire.Comment

Do you have over current protection on this system? I hope you just skimmed over that detail. If not, you need to immediately put a 80-100A breaker between the charge controller and the battery and a 70-80A breaker between the inverter and the battery. Not sure if it would have saved the battery, but I wouldn't turn the system on without them.Solar Queen
