Temperature
Reference Cell
Selection
During the installation period, select and designate one cell within each
tier as the temperature reference cell. This cell is selected for purposes
of temperature measurement. Temperature reference cells should not be
located near a window or a radiator.
Intercell
Connection
• For cells utilizing only two intercell connectors, use the lowermost
mounting holes.
• Do not abrade, i.e., file, scrape, or sand, battery intercell connectors,
or brush them with a wire brush; this will remove the protective lead
coating. It is not necessary to wipe the ends of the intercell
connectors before installing them.
• To make intercell connections, use wrenches with insulated handles
to prevent the possibility of shorting cells.
• Do not install the final links to connect the battery to the power plant
until the battery is ready to be charged.
Intercell Connection
Step Action
1
Apply NO-OX-ID A
®
(regular or special) compound to the
intercell connectors, using a small stiff brush to coat all contact
surfaces between the post and intercell connector.
2
Apply NO-OX-ID A
®
compound to threads of connector bolts
and nuts.
3
Using a wrench with an insulated handle, tighten connections
to 150 inch-pounds.
Caution
Do not over-tighten connectors. This may cause the posts
to break.
4
Verify that all connections have been tightened.
5
After making all connections, wipe off excess compound with
a cleaning cloth.
