BATTERY WIRING
RECOMMENDED EXTENSION LENGTH OF BATTERY CABLES
If the battery cables are extended, follow the requirements in the table due to the battery capacity,
cable size and atmosphere temperature.
The length of extension battery cable means the total length of (+) and (–) cables.
Be sure to select an extension battery cable and a terminal that meet ABYC requirements or equiv-
alents.
Use a best-suited stud to the terminal size.
Give solder to the connection of terminals and cables to prevent them from corroding.
Coiling and/or looping battery cable should be inhibited because of a power loss.
NOTICE
Do not exceed the recommended extension length of battery cable.
Otherwise, the electrical system can allow poor performance or damage.
* L/H rotation model has the same spec as R/H model.
Atmosphere temperature is 0°C (32°F) and above
