Battery Cable Connections
Battery cables must have crimped (or preferably, soldered and crimped) copper
compression lugs unless aluminum mechanical lugs are used. Soldered
connections alone are not acceptable. High quality, UL-listed battery cables are
available from Xantrex in an assortment of lengths: 1½ to 10 feet, and in
#2/0 AWG or #4/0 AWG sizes. These cables are color-coded with pressure
crimped, sealed ring terminals.
Figure 2-10 illustrates the proper method to connect the battery cables to the DR
Inverter’s DC terminals.

CAUTION: Equipment Damage
The inverter is not reverse polarity protected. Reversing the battery polarity on the DC
input connections will cause permanent damage to the inverter which is not covered under
warranty. Always check polarity before making connections to the inverter.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Ensure the inverter is off before disconnecting the battery cables, and that AC power is
disconnected from the inverter input.
2/0 Copper Compression Lug
2/0 Aluminum Mechanical Lug
Do not place anything
between battery cable lug
and terminal surface.
Assemble exactly as shown.
