Be sure to turn off all electrical components before wiring.

Ionic Starter Batteries are equipped with connection terminals tailored for the most common use of each
battery’s
size and power. Our batteries have 4 posts for convenience.
•
Utilize an Insulated wrench and do not over Torque any screw connectors
•
Connect the positive red wires to the positive (+) red terminals on the battery and connect the negative (-)
black wires to the black terminals.
•
If using flat washers, it is very important to ensure the battery cable lug connection is contacting the base
surface of the terminal, and the washer is placed on top of the wire connection. Do not place washer
between the battery terminal and the battery wire, which creates high resistance and can cause terminal
meltdown. It is important that fasteners be tightened to the appropriate torque for each terminal type.
NOTICE:
Battery Protection Circuit and
“sleep”
Mode
Your Ionic battery has a protection circuit that will attempt to put the battery in
“sleep mode”
if you have an
over/under voltage situation, have reversed the polarity or you pulled too much current(overload). The Battery
Management System(BMS) may not be able to protect the battery from damage in all circumstances. Assuming
the Battery Management System(BMS) was successful in protecting the battery and it was not damaged, you
may need to
“wake”
up the battery. You can trigger the BMS to wake up the battery buy trying the following:
1) You could try using a different power supply(charger), some are better at triggering a wake-up.
2) Apply a small load like a low power light or appliance.
3) Put the battery in parallel with a second battery. Positive post to positive post, negative post to negative post.
