Installation Instructions:
-
Unbox your SDHQ Battery Terminal Upgrade Kit and check over for all parts. Familiarize yourself with the parts.
-
Disconnect the stock battery terminals using the 8mm socket. Remove the wires from the stock battery terminals.
-
Installing Lugs. Strip 1” of insulation off the positive wire and slide the heat shrink and red battery boot onto the positive wire. Compression Lugs: Slide compression end of the 1-2GA lug over the stripped positive wire. Using the 9/16” wrench and pliers, tighten the compression lug until it is snug. Be mindful of the orientation of the lugs for ease of wiring to the terminals. Be cautious not to over tighten as the threads can strip. Solder Lugs: Using pliers to hold the solder lug, practice holding the lug upright and placing the wire in cold solder. Once comfortable, heat the solder lug upright until liquid and hold wire in the solder lug until cool. Heat the 3” of heat shrink over the lug and wire.
-
Repeat Step 3 for the wire connected to the negative terminal. Locate the 8mm bolt on the fender wall just behind the battery that connects the negative battery to the body (circled in red). Keep that bolt and discard the old wire along with the terminal.
-
Installing the Terminals. Install the SDHQ Terminals on the corresponding battery studs. Lightly tap on the top of the terminal using a rubber mallet to set it on the battery post. Tighten the 5/16” Battery Bolt and Nut, using ½” wrench on both to prevent damaging the battery post.
-
Connect the smaller ¼” lug on the supplied 16” 6GA Battery to Body wire (SDHQ-02-3002-U1E) to the factory fender location with the 8mm bolt. Connect the other side of the wire to the 3/8” bolt on the negative terminal. Connect the other ground wire with the Compression Lug and any other negative wires to the terminal. Bend the (2) factory ring terminals to 90° to fit on the terminal as shown below. Connect the positive wires to the positive terminal.
-
Torque Specification. Torque the ¼” – 20 bolts to 4 ft-lb. Torque the 5/16” – 18 bolts to 8 ftlb. Torque the 3/8” – 16 hardware to 18 ft-lb.
