When wiring lugs:
1.
Connect a wiring lug directly to the surface of each battery terminal. Do not place
a washer between the terminal base and the lug.
2.
Next, place a flat washer on top of the lug, followed by a split washer, and finally
by the bolt or nut.
Configuring Batteries in a Parallel Group (up to 1S10P)
To achieve higher capacity, arrange the batteries in a single series (1S) parallel group
by connecting all like
‐
polarity wires on adjacent batteries to an appropriately sized
terminal block for your application. To ensure even loading, make two star-type
connections: one for the positive battery terminals and one for the negative battery
terminals. The cable lengths in each star group should be of approximately equal
measure as permitted by the physical layout. From each star connection, use a
twisted pair of cables to the load.
Reference local electrical codes and/or relevant standards for terminal block
specifications. Bus bar connections are recommended for current exceeding 400
amps.
The nominal capacity for the parallel group can be calculated by multiplying the
number of batteries in the group by nominal Ah capacity of the battery. For example,
three batteries in parallel provides:
3 x 40 Ah = 120 Ah.
The maximum number of Alliance Intelligent Battery Series™ batteries that may be
connected in parallel is 10 (ten).
