Battery Placement and Wiring:
Proper installation and wiring of the batteries is critical to the long-term backup capability of any power supply
system. Gelled electrolyte, valve regulated, or AGM batteries are recommended for use in DOT/ITS power supply
applications. All batteries should be tested and fully charged prior to installation. Interconnecting wiring must be no
smaller than 8 mm² in area or 8 AWG. Longer run times and improved efficiency may be realized using battery
wiring of 13 mm² in area or 6 AWG.
In light of the specialized handling and connection requirements for batteries, only trained personnel should install
batteries in an enclosure. Personnel must always employ appropriate safety equipment (goggles or face shields,
insulated gloves, etc.) and only use fully insulated tools for tightening hardware on the battery terminals. Additionally,
proper lifting tools and techniques must always be used during battery installation to avoid personal injury or
equipment damage.
