MAINTENANCE and INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT NEEDED

BATTERY INSTALLATION

 

 

If using washers to connect the wire connections, ensure the 
connection is in direct contact with the lead surface of the terminal.

 

 Ensure the washer is placed on top of the wire connection (between 
the connection and the nut).

 

 Do not place the washer between the terminal and the connection 
as this creates high resistance and can cause terminal meltdown. 
 
 
 
 

 

Hardware not supplied by Trojan

 

   Tighten all cable connections to the specified values*, ensuring 
proper contact with the terminals. Over-tightening can result in 
terminal breakage and loose connections, which may result in 
meltdown or fire. 

* Consult comprehensive User’s Guide on www.trojanbattery.com/

literature/#usersguide for detailed information.

 

 Keep terminals clean and dry to avoid corrosion. Terminal protector 
spray is recommended.

TORQUE VALUES

TERMINAL PROTECTION

 

Always wear protective clothing, gloves and goggles.

 

Do not smoke near batteries. 

 

Keep sparks, flames and metal objects away from batteries. 

 

Use insulated tools when making battery connections. 

 

 Electrolyte is a solution of acid and water, so avoid skin contact. If 
acid contacts skin or eyes, flush with water immediately and contact 
a medical professional. 

 

 Ensure the cable connections to the terminals are properly 
tightened.

 

Do not lay objects on top of battery. 

 

Always charge and handle batteries in a well-ventilated area. 

 

Never add acid to a battery.

 

Never remove or alter gel vent caps.

SAFETY

 

 Unlike flooded batteries, gel batteries may be placed and 
installed upright or on their sides.
