Hint:
Due to the dropout losses in the constant voltage control of the DPSI RV
systems, it is definitely NOT possible and not permissible to use 4-cell battery
packs (NiCad/NiMH)!
5.6. Soldering the Battery Connectors
The included Multiplex high-current sockets are marked + and – on the
solder side. It is imperative to observe this marking! The cable is
first stripped about 5 mm (0.2 inch) and then tin-plated. Before
soldering to the socket, the included heat-shrinkable sleeve must be
pushed over the respective cable. During soldering the cable is then
soldered to all 3 connecting pins of one side of the socket, so that it
comes to rest in the middle of the 3 small legs (see sketch). When
using thin cables, the connecting pins of the socket can be bent
somewhat toward the middle. Plenty of solder should be used to
ensure good contact with all of the contacts. The heat-shrinkable
sleeve is now shrunk using a hot air gun.
