General Procedures – Inspection and Disconnection of Battery Terminals

Disconnect

1. Refer to: Health and Safety Precautions (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).

• Proper fit of the male pin to the female terminal is critical for a correct connection and durability.
• Pin (terminal) fit can be checked using a mating pin (terminal) to verify normal separation force (a damaged pin or terminal will have very low separation force against the mating pin or terminal).
• Proper separation force check of small contacts (terminals) may require removing the connector terminal guide/lock if it increases resistance to pin (terminal) insertion or removal.
• For more information on replacing damaged connectors or pins (terminals), see the video below.
