breakers located on all battery trays. Refer to Figure 6 or Figure 7 for locations.
2.
Remove the Battery Retention Bracket as shown in Figure 6 or Figure 7. To do so, remove the four 1/4-
20 x 5/8" bolts and associated washers.
3.
Slide batteries into the tray, with the battery terminals toward the front as shown in Figure 6 or Figure 7.
Slide batteries into the tray as far as they will go.
NOTE!
The Battery Retention Bracket can be oriented two ways to accommodate batteries of different
lengths. A correctly oriented bracket will fit snuggly against the batteries.
Spec No. 588820200 Only: If your batteries require the alternate bracket orientation shown in Detail A
of Figure 7, remove and reinstall the bullet-shaped spacers as shown in Detail A before performing the
next step.

Figure 6 or Figure 7 Use hardware furnished by the battery manufacturer. Torque hardware to battery
manufacturer's recommendations.
6.
Ensure the battery cable ends in all trays are insulated with sleeving before performing the next step.
DANGER! In multiple-tray installations, when batteries in one tray are connected, the battery cables in
all trays will be energized. Remove sleeving from and connect one cable at a time. Do not allow cable
end to contact the battery tray or equipment rack.
ALERT! In the next step, observe correct polarity. Connect only cable labeled "+" to battery terminal
labeled "+". Likewise, connect only cable labeled "–" to battery terminal labeled "–".
