Properbatteryinstallationistherststepingettingthebestperformanceoutof
your Fullriver battery.
2.1 - SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE CABLE SIZE
Cablesmustbesizedtocarrythemaximumexpectedload.Under-sizedcablescan
resultinover-heating,meltedconnectionsandareapotentialrehazard.
Refer to TABLE 1 below for the current carrying capacity by cable size. These values
are for cable lengths of 6 feet (1.83 meters) or less. It is preferable that all cables in a
series connection or in a parallel connection are the same length.
Tosignicantlyreducetheamountofheatgeneratedattheterminals,
usecableswithsolder-dippedends.

2.2 - TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
Terminalconnectionsmustbetightenedusingthecorrecttorquevaluesasdened
in TABLE 2below.Overorundertightenedconnectionscanresultinterminal
breakage,over-heatingand/ormeltdown.Usingthepropertorquevaluewillprovide
optimumconductivity.Toavoidashortcircuit,useawrenchwithaninsulatedor
rubbercoatedhandlewhenmakingterminalconnections.SeeDIAGRAM 1 below
for proper washer placement.
NEVER place a washer between the mating surfaces of the terminals
andcables.Thiswillcompromiseelectricaltransmissionandincrease
resistance,resultinginextremeheatgenerationandprobableterminal
melting.
Loctite®Threadlockermaybeusedtobettersecuretheterminal
connections. Be careful not to get Loctite®between the mating surfaces
of the terminal.

2.3 - BATTERY ORIENTATION
Theidealplacementofbatteriesisupright.AGMandGelbatteriescanbeplacedon
theirsideifnecessary.Itispreferredthatallthebatterieswithinapackbeplacedin
the same orientation.
NEVERplacebatteriesinaninvertedorientation(terminalspointed
towardsground).
2.4 - SERIES CONNECTIONS
Thereismorethanoneoptiontomeetyourvoltagerequirements.Forexample,for
a12voltsystem,youmayuseone(1)12voltbatteryortwo(2)6voltbatterieswired
inaseriestomakeupthe12volts.Youmayuseasmanybatteriesasyouneedto
make up the system voltage. Connect the positive of one battery to the negative
ofthenextthroughtheentirestring.SeeDIAGRAM 2 below for the proper series
connection.
Installation
Series Connection:
Voltage is increased in a series connection
Two 6V, 224AH batteries = 12V, 224AH
DIAGRAM 2

Page 6
2.5 - PARALLEL CONNECTIONS
Thereismorethanoneoptiontomeetyourenergyrequirements.Forexample,to
meet the requirements for a 210 Amp-Hour system, you may use one (1) 210
Amp-Hourbatteryortwo(2)105Amp-Hourbatterieswiredinparalleltomakeup
the210Amp-Hours.Connectallthepositiveterminalstogetherandallthenegative
terminals together in the string. See DIAGRAM 3 below for proper parallel
connection.
2.6 - SERIES / PARALLEL CONNECTIONS
Batteriescanbeconnectedinbothseriesandparalleltoattainthedesiredsystem
voltageandenergyrequirements.SeeDIAGRAM 4 below for proper series / parallel
connections.
Foroptimumperformance,thesystemspositiveandnegativeleads
shouldbeconnecteddiagonallyopposite(catty-corner)fromeachother.
Installation
Parallel Connection:
Capacity is increased in a parallel connection
Two 12V, 105AH batteries = 12V, 210AH

2.7 - CROSS TYING BATTERIES IN PARALLEL PACKS
Inordertomaintainbalanceinparallelbatterypacks,itisbesttocrosstiethe
batteries.Thismethodofconnectionwillmaximizetheperformanceandlifeofyour
batterysystem.Cross-tyingbatteriesmeansconnectingpositivetopositivesand
negativestonegativesofeachadjacentbatteryintheset.SeeDIAGRAM 5 below for
propercrosstyingconnections.Thedottedlinesrepresentthecrosstiedcables.
Leavesomespacebetweenbatteriesforairowandminorbattery
expansion.
2.8 - CHARGING BATTERIES BEFORE USE
NewAGMorGelbatteriesthathaveonlybeenstoreduptosixmonthswillnotneed
tobechargedpriortobeingputintoservice.
IfnewAGMorGelbatterieshavebeenstoredformorethansixmonths,and/orin
anexceptionallyhotenvironment,achargemaybenecessarypriortobeingputinto
service.Also,ifthebatteriesarenotchargedpriortobeingputintoservice,youmay
experienceaslightreductioninrangeontherstcycle.
Checktheopencircuitvoltage(O.C.V.)ofeachbatteryinthesetandifanybattery
within the set is less than the values in TABLE 3 above, recharge the battery set.

Theperformanceandlifeofabatterywillvarywiththeapplication,usage,
temperatureanddepthofdischarge.AGMandGelbatteriestendtodeliverahigher
capacitythanrated(upto10-15%higher)untiltheyarebrokenin(approximately30
cycles)andsettleattheirratedcapacity.
3.1 - TEMPERATURE EFFECTS ON BATTERY PERFORMANCE AND LIFE
Operatingbatteriesabove80°F(27°C)willyieldruntimesabovetheratedcapacity
whileoperatingbatteriesbelow80°F(27°C)willyieldruntimesbelowtherated
capacity.Coldtemperaturescansignicantlyreducebatterycapacity(asshownin
the chart below).
Although higher temperatures increase the battery capacity, they also accelerate
corrosionandreduceoverallbatterylife.Forexample,batteriesoperating
continuouslyat100°F(37.8°C),couldexperienceasmuchasa25%reductioninlife.

3.3 - LOW DISCHARGE RATE EFFECTS
Batterycyclelifewillbereducedwhentheconstantloadappliedinacyclic
applicationisatorbelow0.7%ofthetotalAhinthebatterybank(C20rating).Thisis
duetoahigherrateofsulfationoccuringinthemiddleoftheplatethatwillcausea
reductioninavailablecapacitywhichinturnsincreasesthedepthofdischargeover
time.Aneorttoeitherincreasetheloadabove0.7%ofC20and/orreducethesize
ofthebatterybank’scapacitysotheloadisabove0.7%ofC20shouldbeputforthif
possible.
3.4 - DEPTH OF DISCHARGE VS. BATTERY LIFE
Batterycyclelifewillvarysignicantlydependingonthedepthofdischarge.The
deeperthedepthofdischarge,thefewerthecyclesabatterywilldeliver.Conversely,
theshallowerthedepthofdischarge,themorecyclesabatterywilldeliver(asshown
