The length of the battery leads should be as short as possible, and the gauge should be as
heavy as possible to minimise the combined resistance of the battery wires and fuse, which
in turn will help minimise the overall voltage drop under heavy load. The wire gauge
recommendations given above are the MINIMUM gauge and are generally suitable for runs
up to 800mm. Longer runs will require heavier wire – typically an extra 1.0mm
2
for each
additional 400mm run length. The heavier the wire, the better driving performance will be.
These notes are in addition to the general wiring recommendations as described in Section
5.3.1 General Wiring Recommendations.
Warning
The RHINO2 system has been designed to perform optimally with either absorbed glass mat or Gel Cell 24 V
deep cycle lead-acid batteries, rated between 20 - 120 Ah.
Note
The final connection to the Battery Positive (+) terminal should not be made until the scooter is completely
wired and ready for testing as described in the Testing section.
To comply with ISO requirements, a red wire for the Battery Positive must be used. This must be the only use of
a red wire in the controller installation.
