2.2.2.
Tighten all cable connections to the proper specification to make sure there is
good contact with the terminals. Over-tightening the connection to the terminal
can result in terminal breakage and loose connections which can result in
meltdown or fire. Refer to
of terminal on your battery.

WARNING: Use a wrench with a rubber handle when making battery connections.
Terminal Protection
2.2.3.
Corrosion can build up on terminals if they are not kept clean and dry. To prevent
corrosion apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly or terminal protector that can be
purchased through your local battery dealer.
Ventilation
2.3.
Flooded/wet lead acid batteries release small amounts of gas during usage, particularly
during the charging process. Gel and AGM batteries generally do not release gas but
can if too much pressure builds up during charging. It is critical to charge batteries in
a properly ventilated area. For more assistance in calculating ventilation needs, please
contact Trojan Battery Company's technical support engineers at 800-423-6569 or
+1-562-236-3000.
