Inter-Cell Connectors
The connections are made by bolting the
supplied lead-plated copper inter-cell and inter-
module connectors to the cell posts of opposite
polarity on adjacent cells. See ASSEMBLY
DRAWING for details.
1. Clean the contact surface of the inter-cell
connector using a stiff-bristle nonmetallic
brush/pad. Be careful not to remove the
lead plating with excessive brushing.
2. Apply a light coat of heated NO-OX-ID
grease to the contact surface of the inter-cell
connector and terminal post with a small
paintbrush.
3. Bolt all inter-cell connectors according to the
ASSEMBLY DRAWING. Assemble as the
example shown in Figure 25 and below list:
• Bolt (M8)
• Lock Washer
• Flat Washer
• Inter-cell Connector
• Battery Post
4. Secure all connections finger-tight to allow
for some adjustment of position.
5. After all connections are completed, torque
to 88 in-lbs.
6. Apply a light coat of heated NO-OX-ID
grease to the bolted connection with a small
paintbrush.

FIGURE 25
Stamped flat washers may have one
sharp edge. Install the washer with the
sharp edge away from the lead-plated
copper inter-cell connector to avoid
damaging the lead plating.
NOTE:
Inter-cell connections vary in length
depending on the type of connection (cell-to-
cell, module-to-module, etc.) and/or stack
configuration.
