You Can't Go the Distance with Too Much Resistance
A low resistance conduction path throughout a standby battery circuit is essential for proper, reliable and safe operation. Connection resistance that's too high can, at a minimum, result in reduced run time. At the other end of the failure spectrum, overheated connections or worse, a battery fire, can result if the checks and balances don't add up. This month's blog addresses verifying inter-cell/inter-unit connections are adequate and up to the task when a discharge occurs.
