Appendix B - Terminal Connect ions
1. Remove any remaining factory-applied grease coating from the terminals with a
dry cloth.
2. Lightly brush the terminal, cable lug, terminal plates and co ntac t s ur faces with a plastic brush or
burlap.
3. Coat all elect r ical surf ac es with NO -OX-ID grease. (O pt ional: U s e heat gun or hot plate to melt and
then apply the NO-OX-ID grease, no open flames).
4. (Optional) - Re-f low excess NO-OX-ID with heat gun and wipe excess.
5. Install hardware and torque to 110 in. lb. (12.4 N-m).
6. W ash hands after working with lead.
Reworking Terminal Connections: If a terminal connection needs to be reworked (for any reason)
follow the below steps:
Once the battery string has been removed from service using properly insulated tools and all appropriate
battery safety methods remove the suspect connection(s).
1. Remove any existing gr ease using a dry cloth.
2. W ith a neutralizing solut ion consisting of one-pound baking soda mixed wi t h one
gallon of water , wipe t he cover a nd t er minal seal area with a cloth moistened with the neutralizing
solution. Do not allow the neutralizing solution to enter the cell. Rinse with clear water and dry
thoroughly.
3. Lightly brush the terminal, cable lug or terminal plate contact surfaces with a plastic brush or
burlap, removing any oxidized or corroded areas.
Note: Liberty 2V batteries terminals, buss bars, cable lugs and terminal plates are made of copper and
have a thin layer of tin. Once the terminal connection is coated with protective NO-OX-ID type grease,
any “exposed”, or “un-tined” areas, no matter if from the factory or due to over brushing, will be protected
from oxidation by the gr ease and not require reworking. Optional: preheat the NO-OX-ID type grease and
apply warm. After working with any lead component, wash your hands.
4. Coat al l electrical surf aces with NO-OX-ID grease. (Optional: Use heat gun or hot plate to melt
and then apply the NO-OX-ID grease, no open flames).
5. (Optional) - Re-f low excess NO-OX-ID grease with heat gun and wipe excess.
Re-Install hardware and torque to 110 in. lb. (12.4 N-m) and measure connection resistance.
