Installation

Repeat these steps for each battery module.

1. The positive cable (+) is red and the negative

cable (−) is black. Connect the ring terminal

of a positive cable to the positive busbar, and

connect a negative cable to the negative bus-

bar.

CAUTION

Pay attention not to reverse polarity. Connection with

reversed polarity causes severe damage to the battery

module.

NOTE

If the busbars cannot accommodate the ring terminal, modify the ring terminals

to adapt them to the busbars.

2. Connect the connector of the positive cable

to the positive connector of the battery mod-

ule.

3. Connect the connector of the negative cable

to the negative connector of the battery mod-

ule.
