Installation Tips
Caution!
Always wear safety glasses and follow the safety guidelines below
when working around batteries:
Note: The terminal design on the POWER battery allows the direct
connection of GM style side mount battery terminals without modifi-
cation.
1. Always disconnect the negative (ground) cable first when remov-
ing batteries.
2. Connect the negative (ground) cable last when installing batter-
ies.
3. Handle and Lift batteries with care. Ensure a good grip before lift-
ing.
4. Clean all vehicle cable ends and connectors with a wire brush or
emery cloth until shiny and free from oxidation or corrosion.
5. Inspect battery mounting area to be sure it is clean and free from
objects that could damage the bottom of the battery.
6. Replace any corroded connections or worn cables. Replace or
repaint any corroded hold-downs, shelves or trays.
7. If installing batteries in a sealed battery enclosure make sure to
route tubing from the battery enclosure to outside the vehicle and
into open air. In the event of a charging system malfunction, over-
charging may occur and the tubing will direct gases safely away from
the passenger compartment.
8. Use extreme caution when making cable connections to the bat-
tery. Extensive damage and dangerous sparks will occur if cables are
crossed.
9. Tighten connections to a snug fit (do not overtighten). Over-
tightening can damage the battery and VOID THE WARRANTY.
Recheck connections occasionally to ensure good connections.
10. If installing multiple batteries, make provisions to disconnect the
batteries from each other when not in use for extended periods of
time as a precautionary measure.
11. When using a multi-battery system, monitor the voltage of your
batteries often. If voltage drops below 11.9 volts then disconnect
the batteries from each other and test each battery individually for
possible problems.
