2.7 - CROSS TYING BATTERIES IN PARALLEL PACKS
In order to maintain balance in parallel battery packs, it is best to cross tie the
batteries. This method of connection will maximize the performance and life of your
battery system. Cross-tying batteries means connecting positive to positives and
negatives to negatives of each adjacent battery in the set. See
DIAGRAM 5
below for
proper cross tying connections. The dotted lines represent the cross tied cables.
Leave some space between batteries for airflow and minor battery
expansion.
2.8 - CHARGING BATTERIES BEFORE USE
New AGM or Gel batteries that have only been stored up to six months will not need
to be charged prior to being put into service.
If new AGM or Gel batteries have been stored for more than six months, and/or in
an exceptionally hot environment, a charge may be necessary prior to being put into
service. Also, if the batteries are not charged prior to being put into service, you may
experience a slight reduction in range on the first cycle.
Check the open circuit voltage (O.C.V.) of each battery in the set and if any battery
within the set is less than the values in
TABLE 3
above, recharge the battery set.
