- Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the battery's weight (approximately 39.6 lbs).
- The battery can be safely mounted in any position due to its sealed, non-acidic design.
- Avoid locations exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat, or moisture.
4.3 Wiring Connections
Use appropriate gauge cables for your application to handle the maximum continuous discharge current of 100A. Ensure all connections are secure and tight to prevent resistance and overheating.
- Connect the positive (+) terminal of the battery to the positive (+) terminal of your system.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal of the battery to the negative (-) terminal of your system.
- The battery uses M8 terminals. Ensure proper terminal bolts are used and tightened to the recommended torque.
