Réduire les limites de chargement pour lestempératures fonctionnelles plus basses pour la durée de vie des batteries.The advanced design of the ALM 12V7 s-Series is intended to provide protection againstoperation under many unsafe conditions such as over voltage, under voltage, overtemperature and short circuit. Proper use within the limits stated in Chapter 4, ALM® 12V7 s-Series Specifications, starting on page 23, is required to ensure operator andequipment safety as well as battery life.MountingThe ALM 12V7 s-Series batteries may be installed in any orientation.The ALM 12V7 s-Series battery case, including its top cover is capable of sustaining amounting force of up to 200 Newtons spread over a one-inch-wide (2.5 cm-wide) bar orholding bracket across the center of the unit. Exertions beyond this level may result indeforming of the plastic.MontageLes batteries de 12V7 s-Séries ALM peut être installé dans n'importe quelle direction.Le boîtier de la batterie ALM 12V7 s-Séries, y compris le couvercle supérieur, peut soutenirune charge allant jusqu'à 200 Newtons répartie sur une barre d'un pouce (2,5 cm) de largeurou sur une équerre de fixation traversant le centre de l'unité. Des efforts plus grands peuventprovoquer une déformation de la matière plastique.Battery Configuration OptionsALM 12V7 s-Series batteries may be arranged in series and/or in parallel configurations toachieve higher operating voltages and capacities to meet the requirements of the intendedapplication, up to a maximum of 48 volts (four in series) and 50 Ah (ten in parallel).Wiring ConnectionsTo connect ALM 12V7 s-Series batteries, use appropriate sized AWG wire and connectorsthat are rated for the maximum current and temperature expected. Table 11, on page 31,provides guidance on the conditions under which the battery may encounter internal thermalor external terminal touch temperature limits.The battery can accommodate a maximum inductance of 5 μH. For reference, 5 μH isequivalent to 3 meters (10 feet) of individual standalone cable. In a battery system, cable
