CONNECTIONS
The cells are now positioned and ready to be connected.
The cells must be connected according to the polarities on
the ASSEMBLY DRAWING and the following instructions.
Before preparing and making connections, heat NO-OX-ID
grease in hot water as necessary to soften for application
with a paintbrush.
Terminal Plates
Terminal plates are provided with the battery system to
provide a system connections point. All system connections
must be made to the terminal plate and NEVER to the cell
terminal. Top termination is standard, on most configurations,
side termination is optional.
1. Clean the terminal plate electrical contact areas with a
stiff-bristle nonmetallic brush/pad until the plated surface
is bright. Be careful not to remove the plating with
excessive brushing.
2. Apply a light coat of heated NO-OX-ID grease to the
terminal plate electrical contact area with a small
paintbrush.
3. Assemble and install the terminal plate assembly
finger-tight as shown in Figure 24.
4. Check for alignment with cell terminal.
5. Torque all bolts to 15 ft-lbs.
