To increase amp-hour capacity, connect batteries in parallel.
Battery System:6 Volt,452 AH Using Two DT106 Deep Cycle Batteries (6 Volts,226AH)
To increase both voltage and amp-hour capacity, Connect batteries in series/parallel.
Battery System: 12 Volt, 452 AH Using Four DT106 Deep Cycle Batteries (6 Volts,226 AH)
These systems can also be configured using 12-volt batteries. It is not recommended that you mix
batteries of different voltages within the same system.
CLEANING
Batteries seem to attract dust, dirt, and grime. Keeping them clean will help one spot trouble signs if they appear
and avoid problems associated with grime.
1. Check that all vent caps are tightly in place.
2. Clean the battery top with a cloth or brush and a solution of baking soda and water.
◆ When cleaning, do not allow any cleaning solution, or other foreign matter to get inside the battery.
3. Rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth.
4. Clean battery terminals and the inside of cable clamps using a post and clamp cleaner.
◆ Clean terminals will have a bright metallic shine.
5. Reconnect the clamps to the terminals and thinly coat them with petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to prevent
corrosion.
6. Keep the area around batteries clean and dry.
STORAGE
Periods of inactivity can be extremely harmful to lead acid batteries. When placing a battery into storage, follow
