planning one…
Not having much luck atm.
Asked a mobile ‘specialist’ (lots of +ve reviews on FB, which are real) to do some additions to electrics.
Had a look properly today and saw this..
I’ve only dabbled with crimping before but this looks poor to me.
I’m learning to always check carefully what people have done before they leave…

Pull on the wires and see what happens...

You probably should get him back.

Blue red yellow, ratchet crimping tools are very reasonable on ebay. Re do the whole lot, as they are they will current limit & oxidise and give you grief in all sorts of weird ways.

Buy a hydraulic crimping tool with properly sized terminals for your wire size with again sized heat shrink and do the job yourself, it would still work out cheaper then getting someone in,

That looks to be a really shoddy job. It may be the angle that the photo has been taken from but that seriously looks as though it needs a protective insulating boot over the battery post. However, with all those crimp connections on there that could be a challenge.

I would not be happy with that job.

That is really amateur job, I wouldn't call him back, i'd send him that photo and ask for your money back. I don't know where you are but if you can get to them i'd ask Offgrid Power Solutions to do the job properly for you and if there's space fit a positive bus bar. They are very helpful and it shouldn't be much work perhaps pm RogerIvy and ask.

"That looks like one of my jobs 🥴😁"

The battery seems appropriately named!!
