Positive Wire(s) 

 

Included in the battery cable kit is a red wire that will connect the positive 

conductor from the battery module to the inverter module. 
1.  Run the wire between the battery module and the inverter module to 

get the approximate length required. Once the length is established, 

cut and strip the wire. The wire should be stripped 3/8’ from both ends. 

2.  Insert the stripped wire into the battery positive terminal blocks in the 

Inverter Module and the Battery Module. Follow the colors - red wire to 

red terminal block. 

3.  Torque the battery terminal block to 10 inch pounds to secure the wire 

into the terminal block. 

4. 

Repeat this process for additional Battery Modules.

 

 
 

Negative Wire(s) 

 

Included in the battery cable kit is a yellow wire that will connect the 

battery module to the inverter module. 
1.  Run the wire between the battery module and the inverter module to 

get the approximate length required. Once the length is established, 

cut and strip the wire. The wire should be stripped 3/8’ from both ends. 

2.  Insert the stripped wire into the battery negative terminal blocks in the 

Inverter Module and the Battery Module. Follow the colors - yellow wire 

to yellow terminal block. 

3.  Torque the battery terminal block to 10 inch pounds to secure the wire 

into the terminal block. 

4. 

Repeat this process for additional Battery Modules.
