NB Module - AVR125-33, HT125-33 Installation and Operation Manual California Batteries, battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, and other chemicals known to the state Proposition 65 of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproduc- Warning: tive harm.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 10. Connect support structures to ground system in accordance with applicable codes. Although all valve-regulated cells have the electrolyte 11. The below IEEE Standards contain additional information. immobilized within the cell, the electrical hazard associated with Other standards may be relevant to your specific application. batteries still exists.
RECEIVING & STORAGE Cell Shipment CONT. Each cell will be in an individual sleeve. There will be a maximum of 6 cells per pallet. Module Shipment All battery accessories (connectors, terminal plates, hardware) will be included with a module pallet. The pallet will be indicated with an “Accessory”...
INSTALLATION Hardware Torque Requirements Bolt Size Torque/Retorque General Caution should be taken when installing batteries to insure 1/2-13 100ft-lb 135.5 Nm no damage occurs. The battery cabinet, tray, rack, etc. shall be 3/8-16 45ft-lb 61.0 Nm inspected for sharp edges that could cause damage to the battery casing.

TERMINAL ASSEMBLY 7. Install Side Terminal Shield to Side Terminal Plate using CONT. ¼-20 screws. 4. Connect side terminal plate to side terminal plate connectors. Tighten but do not torque hardware. Side terminal bracket and side terminal connectors may have to be adjusted to insure plate and connectors are flush.
CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY 5. NB battery systems are supplied with multiple connectors to be used per battery post. A 2CU connector package 1. The contact surfaces of each individual post on every cell will require 2 connectors per connection (1 per side), see have been cleaned and coated with a thin film of No-Ox-ID example below.
CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY CONT. 4. Battery performance is based on the output at the battery terminals. Therefore, the shortest electrical connection between the battery system and the operating equipment results in maximum total system performance. Select cable size based on current carrying capability and voltage drop.
