WIRING GUIDE
The illustrations below show how to properly wire AGM batteries.
BATTERY BANK TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
All battery interconnects, busbar, and device connections to resist vibration by using nylon insert lock nuts, thread locking fluid, or lock washers (split lock or external tooth).
12V 224AH AGM BATTERY BANK PARALLEL CONNECTION
Note: New batteries should never be connected to old batteries. All
batteries should be charged to a minimum of 6.5V before connecting them
together All busbar connections to external devices (inverter, converter,
solar controller, etc.) to be equal in length and gauge, sized appropriately
for each device with suitable positive circuit protection (fusing or breakers)
