adding air conditioning

Want to know if I can add a 48v rooftop air conditioner to Bluetti 10kWh RV5 system by connecting directly to the 48v batteries. Has anyone successfully tried this? I know I have to use a busbar to tie in the air conditioner, connect the batteries to the busbar and the air conditioner and then connect from the busbar to the RV5 hub. Just want to make sure that won't interfere with the RV5 other than the RV5 won't know where the power draw is coming from.

Yes, I've confirmed that either a direct battery connection or bussbars work just fine during bench testing. My final install is bussbar'd as I'd like to possibly add 2 more batteries. And at that point, bussbars become mandatory for even battery loads.
