    TROJAN BATTERY USER’S GUIDE Battery Connections 2.2. Battery cables provide the link between the batteries, equipment and charging system. Faulty connections can lead to poor performance and terminal damage, meltdown or fire. To ensure proper connections, please use the following guidelines for cable size, torque values and terminal protection.
  • Page 36: Torque Values

    Torque Values 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 Table 2 for the proper torque values based on the type of terminal on your battery.

  • Page 39: Preventative Maintenance

    TROJAN BATTERY USER’S GUIDE Preventative Maintenance Inspection 3.1. • Examine the outside appearance of the battery. The tops of the batteries and terminal connections should be clean, free of dirt and corrosion, and dry. Refer to section 3.2 Cleaning • If fluids are on the top of a flooded/wet battery this may mean that the battery is being over-watered.
  • Page 40: Watering (Flooded/Wet Batteries Only)

    Watering (flooded/wet batteries ONLY) 3.3. Water should never be added to gel or AGM batteries as they do not lose water during use. Flooded/wet batteries need to be watered periodically. The frequency depends upon battery usage and operating temperatures. Check new batteries every few weeks to determine the watering frequency for your application.
