NOTE If you have an external DC disconnect switch between the UPS and batteries, see the instructions that came with your disconnect switch.

Clean the cable and battery post (terminal) before you make the battery connection. Apply a thin coating of high-temperature conductive grease on the post and cable terminals to slow corrosion. If you use a nonconductive grease like petroleum jelly, do not apply any grease before you make the connections. Instead, make the connection first; then, torque it to the torque values shown below for your battery. After you have made the connection, apply a coating of the nonconductive grease to the hardware at the battery terminals.

When you make battery terminal connections, use the torque wrench to tighten the battery terminal connections securely. For most batteries, you can find out what torque value to use by finding the battery number (BAT-XXXX) on the top of the battery. Then, use Table 28 to find the torque value for that battery.

Table 28. Battery Torque Value

V r	r

BAT-0046	Torque to 65 in lb (7.3 Nm)

BAT-0048	Torque to 65 in lb (7.3 Nm)

BAT-0050	Torque to 75 in lb (8.4 Nm)

BAT-0053	Torque to 40 in lb (4.5 Nm)

BAT-0103	Torque to 40 in lb (4.5 Nm)

BAT-0122	Torque to 65 in lb (7.3 Nm)

Other batteries do not have a battery number on the top. To find the torque value for these batteries, check the battery terminal type; then, use Figure 23 to find the torque value for that terminal type.
