Battery terminal must be clean to reduce the resistance between the DC terminal and cable
connection. A buildup of dirt or oxidation may eventually lead to the cable terminal overheating
during periods of high current draw. Use a stiff wire brush and remove all dirt and corrosion from
the battery terminals and cables.
Reducing RF interference
To reduce the effect of radiated interference, twist the DC cables. To further reduce RF interfer
-
ence, shield the cables with sheathing /copper foil / braiding.
Taping battery cables together to reduce inductance
Do not keep the battery cables far apart. In case it is not convenient to twist the cables, keep
them taped together to reduce their inductance. Reduced inductance of the battery cables helps
to reduce induced voltages. This reduces ripple in the battery cables and improves performance
and efficiency
