5.3.1 DC Battery Cabling
DC battery cable terminations are de-
signed for two-hole spade lugs crimped to
the cabling, then attached to the bus bars.
Depending upon the gauge of the input
wiring used, the connections may be made
either singly or with two back-to-back lugs
per mounting hole.
Each bar (DC+, DC-) can accept seven
2-hole ½" mounting lugs on 1-3/4" centers
or seven 2-hole 3/8" lugs on 1" centers.
Torque specifications for DC wiring (3/8"
bolts that attach the DC lugs at the back
of the DC distribution box) are 190 – 240
inch/lbs (21.5 – 27.1 N-m).
