Preparing and Installing Connections
The cells are now positioned and ready to be connected.
Before preparing and making the connections,
heat NO-OX-ID grease in hot water as necessary
to soften for application with a paintbrush.
7.4.1 Terminal
Posts
All terminal posts of the cells are greased at the factory to prevent oxidation.
1.
Remove the grease with a paper towel.
2.
Inspect each terminal post. If discoloration or tarnishing is noted, neutralize the post with
sodium bicarbonate and water solution (Section 12.1.2, Procedure 2). Dry thoroughly.
3.
Clean the contact surface with a stiff-bristle nonmetallic brush/pad until a clean, bright
surface is obtained. Do NOT expose copper.
4.
Apply a light coat of NO-OX-ID grease.
7.4.2 Intercell
Connectors
The connections are made by bolting the plated copper intercell connectors to the cell posts of
opposite polarity on adjacent cells. When more than one intercell connector for each cell is
furnished, bolt the connectors on opposite sides of the cell posts.
1.
Clean the contact surface of the intercell connector using a stiff bristle nonmetallic
brush/pad. Use care so as NOT to remove the plating and expose any copper.
Note: Tin-plated connectors do not require plating material removal to provide an
adequate contact surface, only foreign material removal. Very light brushing and cleaning
with a cloth is generally sufficient.
2.
With a small paintbrush, apply a light coat of heated NO-OX-ID grease to the contact
surface of the intercell connector.
