6.6 Single Battery Installation Procedure
CAUTION
FIRE HAZARD:
Undersized cables can become hot and may potentially catch fire.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor to moderate injury.
Battery cables (battery to load and/or battery to charger) must meet the following
requirements to optimize performance:
1. Minimum cable lengths.
Select a location that minimizes the length of
battery cables in order to reduce voltage drop from the impedance.
Equipment must be installed in accordance with the standards set by the local
authority having jurisdiction
1. If the circuit of equipment that the battery is installed in has a
disconnect, open the disconnect to isolate the battery.
2. Ensure the cable connections are clean and serviceable.
3. Install and secure the battery. Be careful not to make contact between
the terminals and any metal mounting, fixture, or body part.
4. Connect battery cables taking care to connect the positive ( + ) cable
to the positive ( + ) terminal. Connect negative ( - ) cable last to avoid
sparks. Short circuits may damage the battery and this will void the
warranty.
5. Torque all battery terminals to the recommended terminal torque of 13
Nm (9.6 ft-lb) to secure cable lugs.
6. Close circuit disconnect (if open).
NOTICE
Failure to torque up to specifications may increase resistance and lower voltage
and may lead to burnout of the terminals and invalidate the warranty.
6.7 Parallel Battery Installation Procedure
CAUTION
FIRE HAZARD:
Undersized cables can become hot and may potentially catch fire.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor to moderate injury.
Batteries used in a parallel system must meet the following requirements:
1. Same model.
Batteries must be the same model, age, capacity, and
voltage.
2. Equal voltage.
Always ensure that batteries are within 50mV (0.05V) of
each other before installing them in parallel.
