Connecting Cable Leads to the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech
Batteries:
NOTICE: SPARK MAY BE PRESENT WHEN CONNECTING WIRES TO PHI2.6™ TERMINALS
A brief small spark is often present when connecting the second of two leads to a battery. Example: If the
Positive has been connected, a small spark will likely be present when connecting the Negative lead.
This
is a normal occurrence. Complete all connections in a clean, ventilated, well lit area. To avoid any spark or
electrical event when connecting the terminal leads on the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery, turn the 80 Amp
breaker “ON/OFF” switch to “OFF” position.
Power Cabling for the PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery is not included. Your qualified installer or application
specifications will determine the wire gauge for your system.
Considerations for Power Cable Terminations
- PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Battery Mounting Stud Size: 3/8’’
- Power Cable Wire Gauge: Generally anywhere from 6 AWG to 2/0 AWG or larger.
High amperage rated ring terminals can be found for these and other common dimensions. Your installer
can source these or we can provide them based on the specifications you provide.
Protection from the Environment
Anticorrosive compounds or epoxies are occasionally used in harsh or marine climate installations. Please
contact your Electrician or Qualified Installer to determine if this is advisable, and if so, what solution best
suits your application.

that prevents over discharge. The LBCO will cause the battery to turn off once batteries approach Zero
Capacity or 100+ percent depth of discharge.
