WARNING: Overcharging can damage the battery and possibly cause a fire or explosion. Follow the battery
charger’s recommendations for monitoring batteries while charging. Batteries should be monitored while charging
for signs of internal problems. Signs of internal problems include bulging cases, extreme gassing, pungent smell,
and extreme heat. If you notice any of these signs turn the charger off and allow the battery to stabilize before
handling or testing.
Cleaning a Battery
Use a damp cloth to clean the top of the battery to eliminate conductive paths created by dirt and dried or wet
electrolyte, and to prevent corrosion. Use a battery terminal-cleaning tool that has nonconductive (plastic or rubber)
cover to clean the battery terminals when corrosion is present. Replace any battery cables (or cable terminals) that are
frayed, corroded, swelled, or damaged to the extent that they cannot be cleaned.
Battery Hold Down Hardware
Batteries are subjected to extreme shock loads and vibration. It is very important to make sure each battery is secured
by the proper mounting hardware. Failure to secure each battery correctly can result in premature battery failure. Using
a torque wrench, torque the hold down nuts in two step increments:
•
STEP 1 - Torque each hold down nut to 60 in-lbs. (6.8 N
•
m)
•
STEP 2 - Torque each hold down nut to 120 to 144 in-lbs. (13.5 to 16.3 N
•
m)
Battery Cable Mounting
On threaded stud type batteries, use only stainless steel nuts to fasten the cable to the battery. Torque the nut to 150 to
200 in-lbs. (17 to 22.5 N
•
m).
On SAE post type batteries, use only stainless steel battery clamp bolts. Torque the nut to 60 in-lbs. (7 N
•
m).
