In series
The number of cells in series will determine the total float of voltage:
U = V x N
U --- Total float voltage
V --- Float voltage for one cell
N --- Number of cells
In parallel
The same battery may be connected in parallel to give higher current capability. This
connection in parallel will be preferably carried out through an equipotential wiring for an equal
current distribution in each string. There is no technical reason for limiting the number of
strings, but for practical installation reasons, it is recommended not to exceed 4 strings in
parallel especially if the battery is used in high discharge rates (standby time lower than 1
hour).
General recommendations:
Do not wear clothing of synthetic material, to avoid the generation of static potentials
Use insulated tools
Place the cells beginning with the least accessible rows, spacing the cells as shown on
the drawing.
Consult the drawing for the correct position of the battery poles (positive=red color,
negative=black color)
Before attaching the inter-cell flexible cables, check that all terminals are in the correct
position.
The battery cells are connected in series, which is with a positive pole connected to a
negative pole.
Use only a damp cotton cloth for cleaning purposes.
Tighten the nuts or bolts to the recommended levels of torque indicated on the operation
guide.
Always use insulated tools for fitting and torque up battery connections.
