Need to replace starting batteries.

[Gary Smith]

Ron, I am not against taking that picture, but a bunch of those cables will look alike once disconnected. Labeling them eliminates the concern over hooking up incorrectly. It also helps you to know that you aren’t missing a cable (fell out of sight behind the batteries) when you think you are done.

Take a picture with a digital camera. Much better way and no lost time.

Then, using masking tape or labels, label your cable connections from left to right (for example: L+1, L+2, L-1, etc.), and annotate on your sketch. Be sure to get every cable, regardless of size. This will allow you to get the new batteries oriented properly and reconnect all the cables to the right terminal of the right battery.

There should be a Cole Hersee battery switch just above the batteries on the firewall you need to turn to the off position before doing any work.Also remove any 110 V source and turn of the inverter(s).Use baking soda and water for cleaning the tray and cables also.Just remember battery acid is corrosive. It is also a good idea to take a picture of the setup before you begin in case you are interrupted for any reason. Fred & Jeanne Hulse Morristown,Arizona 97 WLWB41
