2.3 - BATTERY ORIENTATION
The ideal placement of batteries is upright. AGM and Gel batteries can be placed on
their side if necessary. It is preferred that all the batteries within a pack be placed in
the same orientation.
NEVER place batteries in an inverted orientation (terminals pointed
towards ground).
2.4 - SERIES CONNECTIONS
There is more than one option to meet your voltage requirements. For example, for
a 12 volt system, you may use one (1) 12 volt battery or two (2) 6 volt batteries wired
in a series to make up the 12 volts. You may use as many batteries as you need to
make up the system voltage. Connect the positive of one battery to the negative
of the next through the entire string. See DIAGRAM 2 below for the proper series
connection.
