Installation
The batteries may be mounted in any orientation. But care must be taken in connecting to the
battery terminals. The positive and negative terminals are labeled and color coded (red for +,
black for -).
DO NOT REVERSE POLARITY THE BATTERY AS THIS WILL DAMAGE BOTH THE BATTERY AND
THE DEVICE BEING CONNECTED!!!
The batteries come standard with a flag style terminal post with a 3/8” hole to accommodate a
5/16” bolt and lug sizes up to 2 AWT. Larger lugs may require a 1/4" bolt. All batteries ship with
18-8 stainless steel 5/16 – 18 bolts, brass washers, and 18-8 stainless steel nuts with nylon
inserts. If multiple lugs are used, the washers may be removed, or longer bolts may be required
in order for the bolt to fully seat into the nylon insert of the nut.
WHEN CONNECTING TO BATTERY TERMINALS, DO NOT FINGER TIGHTEN. ALL CONNECTIONS
MUST BE TIGHTENED TO THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE BOLT MANUFACTURER. FOR THE BOLTS
INCLUDED WITH THE BATTERY, TIGHTEN USING A TORQUE WRENCH TO BETWEEN 9 AND 11
ft-lbs. FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY SECURING CONNECTIONS CAN RESULT IN FIRE.
Parallel
Multiple BB10012 may be mounted in parallel to increase the current capacity of the system. When
batteries are mounted in parallel, the voltage of the system does not change, but the current limits are
additive. For example, two BB10012 batteries mounted in parallel can deliver 200A continuously and
400A for 30 seconds. Three BB10012 batteries mounted in parallel can deliver 300A continuously and
