4.5 TORQUE VALUES
Tighten all cable connections to the proper specification to make sure there is good contact with the terminals.
Over-tightening terminal connections can cause terminal breakage and loose connections can result in terminal
meltdown or fire. Refer to Table 2 for the proper torque values based on the type of terminal on your battery.
TABLE 2
WARNING!
USE AN INSULATED WRENCH WHEN MAKING BATTERY CONNECTIONS.
4.6 CONNECTING BATTERIES IN BANKS
You can increase capacity, voltage, or both by configuring your batteries as shown in Table 3.
Note: The Maximum Nominal Bank Voltage for Trillium Batteries is 51.2V.
(Group 24 & Group 27: 4 Batteries in Series. U1: 2 Batteries in Series.)
TABLE 3
SERIES CONNECTION
PARALLEL CONNECTION
SERIES/PARALLEL CONNECTION
To increase voltage, connect batteries in series.
This will not increase the system capacity.
To increase capacity, connect batteries in parallel.
This will not increase the system voltage.
To increase both voltage and capacity, connect
additional batteries in series and parallel.
