INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT! Remove all jewelry or other metallic objects from your hands and body
during the installation of the battery and peripherals. Turn off power to the device prior to
installation of the battery.
4.1 Tips
Do not install batteries above heat generating equipment.
Ensure that all batteries are at same state of charge prior to connecting together. Contact
your place of purchase for suggestions on how to perform this task.
Use flexible insulated copper cables, like welding cable, or equivalent bus bar for serial or
parallel power connections if needed.
Right side up is recommended. If the battery must be mounted on its side to fit in the
application, we recommend the terminals be positioned towards the top of the battery.
