  • Page 16: Connecting Batteries

    Most custom cables are NOT reversible; therefore, keep track of which end of the custom cable connects to the battery and the Sol-Ark. If you’re crimping new connectors to create a cable, be careful not to over-tighten the crimping tool, as this can recess the connectors and lead to a poor or intermittent connection.
