SIDESHIFT INSTALLATION GUIDE V1.9
PREPARING SHUNT CABLES
To prepare a shunt cable:
STEP 1: ARRANGE BATTERIES
You may choose to arrange batteries in different ways: side by side, end to end etc.
For a parallel CCA-boasting configuration, arrange the two batteries so the positive
and negative posts of each battery are on the same side as the other, as shown in
Figure 1.
STEP 2: MEASURE CABLE
Cut cable or cables to length based on the battery arrangement chosen in Step 1
above.
You need one shunt cable for series configuration and two for parallel configuration,
as explained in the Connecting Batteries in Parallel to Boost CCA and 24 Volt
Batteries sections above.
STEP 3: INSTALL COMPRESSION TERMINALS
Slip shrink tube past both ends of each cable then attach compression terminals, as
explained in How To Install Compression Terminals on page 19.
Slip shrink tube over shaft of compression terminal, leaving the ring exposed.
Apply heat evenly to the shrink tube until it forms a tight seal around the terminal
and cable.
