vidually, use a bank of batteries as
explained below.
Battery Bank assembly instructions:
7.
Read the following safety
a.
rules before assembling the
battery bank:
connect batteries in parallel
•
(negative terminals together to
one cable; positive terminals
together to the other cable) as
shown in Battery Bank Example
illustration ONlY.
do not connect 12V batteries
•
in series (from negative of one
battery to the positive of the
next). This connection can result
in voltage high enough to cause
ElEcTROcuTION.
Wear splash-resistant ANSI-
•
approved safety goggles and
electrically insulated gloves
while assembling battery bank.
Only connect similar batteries
•
together in a battery bank. Do
not connect old and new batteries
together, wet and gel cells together,
or batteries of different capacities
together.
Connect all batteries in the battery
•
bank together using #00 AWG or
thicker cables. Since amp draw on
this low-voltage circuit will be very
high, thinner cables would present
a fire hazard.
Locate battery bank in a clean, well-
•
ventilated area, away from ignition
sources and flammable materials.
Batteries release explosive hydro-
gen gas while charging.
Charge, store, and maintain batter-
•
ies according to supplier’s instruc-
tions.

^ Bank capacity = (single battery capacity) x (# of batteries)
400 Ah capacity is for two, 200 Ah batteries.
b. Connect the batteries in parallel
as shown above. Connect all
of the positive terminals to one
another.
Then connect all the negative

terminals to one another.
Connect the negative and posi-
d.
tive output cables to opposite
ends of the bank.
do not allow
the output cables to touch
one another.
Test the voltages at the output

cables to help ensure that the
battery bank is properly wired.

volts, then part of the battery
