Battery Connections &
System Overview
Battery Bank Placement
The battery bank should be placed as close to the load as possible. If the battery bank is placed outside,
be sure to use a vented, water proof enclosure.
•Disconnect all wiring to and from the battery bank before maintenance or cleaning to reduce
the risk of fire, shock or explosion.
•Always remove the negative terminal from the battery before servicing.
•Use caution when using a metal tool near the batteries to prevent shorts, sparks, and
possible explosions.
•Keep all battery terminals clean and corrosion free.
•Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery.
•Always install a means of disconnect on the outside of the enclosure.
