9. Torque all battery terminals to the recommended terminal torque of 13
Nm (9.6 ft-lb) to secure cable lugs.
10. Install a T connector on each battery and interconnect each battery in a daisy
chain with a Comm cable. If an LYNK device is being used, attach a Comm
cable from the T Connector of the last battery in the string to the LYNK
device. Refer to
Section 8.8.2
Network Installation
for complete instructions.
11. Energize the system by setting all the batteries to ON.
12. Close the circuit disconnect (if open).
NOTICE
Failure to torque up to specification may increase resistance and lower voltage, leading to
burnout of the terminals and voiding the warranty. Torquing up over the specification may
cause the battery casing to crack voiding the warranty.
NOTE
Wherever replacing an old battery in a string, use a battery of the same age, model,
capacity, and voltage.
NOTE
Before installing the battery in parallel, ensure that each battery is charged to 100% SOC.
