OVERVIEW
The QE90 design and costing program QECOST can calculate the required battery capacity
for a given QE90 system. It can also print out the suggested arrangement for the batteries
given the available space in the QE90 cabinet.
The diagram and instructions that follow are the recommended procedures for fitting the
batteries specified by QECOST or calculated as described in the QE90 Technical Manual
(LT9002).
Photographs of the finished arrangements are also included.
Kits consisting of wiring looms and sets of nuts bolts, and washers will be supplied with
QE90 Panels in the correct quantities for wiring up the recommended batteries.

Note that in Australia only CSIRO ActivFire listed batteries are permitted to be used. All
batteries supplied by Tyco will be so listed. Batteries supplied by Tyco can be operated in
any orientation. Refer to the ActivFire Listing afp-1636.
In New Zealand it is not required that the batteries be listed. The above part numbers are
examples of batteries that can be used. If using other manufacturer’s batteries be sure to
check that they have a suitable life, that they can be operated in the intended orientation,
that a float voltage of 13.65V at 20 degrees C is suitable, and that their dimensions are the
same as or close to those given above.
