Installation Steps Continued:
8.
Route the other end of the wires from the Heat Battery Kit to your
battery bank. Place the 5/16” ring lug between the nylok nut and
the washer, as seen in Figure 12. Be sure to tighten and torque all
terminal connections to 10 ft-lbs.
*
Please note,
when this connection is made the wire will be live at
12 volts (or higher if connected in series).
9.
Install the #8 ring terminal onto the heat-enable post and tighten
it down firmly to engage the internal teeth. Inspect the connection
to see if vibration could cause it to come loose. See Figure 13.
10.
Roll up and zip tie any slack left in the harness, and this completes
the install of the heater enable remote switch.

Low-Voltage Disconnect
If your battery is at room temperature and goes into a low voltage disconnect, simply apply
a 12-volt charge and your battery will start accepting a charge. If you are in a cold
environment and your battery goes into low voltage disconnect, your battery will also
experience a cold temperature disconnect and will not accept a charge. In this instance,
you will still need to connect a 12-volt charge because the internal heating function will still
operate bringing the battery up to a safe internal temperature where it will be able to
accept a charge.
Power Consumed by Heating Function
The internal heating function of your battery consumes about 1.8 amps of power. At 0° F
(-17.7° C) and no insulation, the heater function will be continuously on. With no
external loads and no external charging, this will give your roughly 48 hours of heating
capability before your battery will go into low voltage disconnect. With warmer
temperatures and, or insulation, you will consume less power allowing you to extend the
usage time.
Please note: this information is based on the DF10012H model and may vary between
models.
Heated Batteries and Your External Monitoring Devices
All of the power used for the internal heating function is within the battery. This means if
you have an external monitoring device, such as a BMV, that power will not be recorded if
or when the heating function turns on. The monitoring device will need to be recalibrated.
