Battery Installation
Before installation, check the battery for visible damage including cracks, dents, deformation and other visible abnormalities. The top
surface of the battery and terminal connections should be clean, free of dirt and corrosion, and dry.
Battery power should be turned off prior to the installation and for storage. Check the LED integrated into the Power button to make
sure it is completely off. If the LED is on or blinking, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds until LED turns off.
Lithium batteries do not release gas during normal use. There are no specific ventilation requirements for battery installation, although
enough airflow should be provided to prevent excessive heat build-up.
The battery should be stored and installed in a clean, cool and dry place, keeping water, oil, and dirt away from the battery. If any of
these materials can accumulate on the top surface of the battery, current leakage can occur, resulting in self-discharge and possible
short circuits.
The orientation of the battery must be with the terminals
facing up as shown. Sideways, and upside-down
orientations are not permitted and will void the warranty.
The battery is equipped with two flat threaded terminals designed for a 5/16” or M8 size ring terminal lugs secured by the included
M8 bolts, flat washers and lock washers. When using flat washers and lock washers, it is critical to place the ring terminal lug in direct
contact with the top surface of the power terminal first and then place the washers on top of the lug. Connect the positive and negative
battery cables with correct polarity and double check the polarity of battery circuit to avoid potential equipment and battery damage.
CAUTION: Do NOT place any washers between the
battery power terminal and the ring terminal lug, as this
could create a high resistance path and cause excessive
heating of the connection which could then lead to
permanent battery damage and/or fire.
If you must attach more than one lug to each terminal,
ensure that at least 1/4” or 6mm of bolt thread is available
to secure the connection. Additionally, the ring terminal
lugs need to be “clocked” in such a way that they do not
interfere with their flat conducting surfaces. Acquire and
use longer M8x1.25mm stainless bolts as necessary.
Tighten both M8 power terminal bolts to 108in-lbs/12.2Nm to ensure there is good contact with the ring terminal lug.
CAUTION: Over-tightening the terminal bolts can damage the terminal. Loose terminal bolts can result in a high resistance
connection which could then lead to permanent battery damage and/or fire.
For parallel battery connecting, the use of bus
bars or diagonal take-off points is required.
CAUTION: Improper terminal connection or
lug stacking may cause battery damage that
is not covered under warranty.
