The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only. Various types of
batteries with different mounting styles and hardware may be shipped with the

Mounting hardware requirements may vary with battery manufacturers. Use only
the hardware recommended by your particular battery manufacturer.
The following illustration shows the typical terminal assembly for vertically
mounted battery posts. The battery cables should be in direct contact with the
battery post. All additional battery cables should be either in contact with the
battery post or another battery cable, the battery cable stack-up should be limited
to only two cables per side.
Using the hardware that is shipped with the Battery Cable Kit, make all battery
connections as shown below. For AlphaCell™ batteries, follow the torque figures
printed on the batteries. For other batteries, ALWAYS refer to the manufacturers’
specifications for correct mounting hardware and torque requirements. During
maintenance procedures, refer to the manufacturers’ specifications for
