13.0 CONNECTIONS
The system is now ready to be connected.
The cells must be connected according to the
polarities on the and the
following instructions.
13.1 Inter-Cell Connectors
The connections are made by bolting the supplied
lead or tin-plated copper inter-cell and inter-module
connectors to the cell terminals of opposite polarity
on adjacent cells. See for
details.
1. Clean the contact surface of the inter-cell
connector using a stiff-bristle nonmetallic
brush/pad.
2. Apply a light coat of NO-OX-ID grease to the
contact surfaces of the inter-cell connector and
terminal post.
a. Hex Bolt
b. Flat Washer
c. Inter-cell Connector
d. Battery Terminal
e. Inter-cell Connector
f. Flat Washer
g. Lock Washer
h. Hex Nut
3. Bolt all inter-cell connectors according to
the . Assemble as
the example shown in Figure 17 and
below list:
CAUTION
Tin plated parts do not require plating removal to
provide an adequate contact surface, only foreign
material removal. Very light brushing and cleaning
with a cloth is generally sufficient.
Lead Plated Parts — Be careful not to remove the
lead plating with excessive brushing.
WARNING
Stamped flat washers may have one sharp
edge. Install the washer with the sharp edge
away from the inter-cell connector to avoid
damaging the plating.
NOTE:
Inter-cell connections vary in length depending
on the type of connection (cell-to-cell, module-
to-module, etc.). Always insure that there is a
connector bar on each side of the terminal.
