INSTALLATION

PRIMEPACT 66G and 66LP Recreational Vehicle Generators

♦ 6.8.2 BATTERY CABLES

Using battery cables that are too long or too small in
diameter may cause a drop in voltage, which causes
starting problems. For the best cold weather starting,
the voltage drop between battery terminals and the gen­
erator connection point should not exceed 0.12 volts
per 100 amperes of cranking current.

PRIMEPACT generators are rated at about 100 DC
amperes of cranking current.

Select battery cables based on (a) cable length and (b)
prevailing ambient temperatures. Generally, the longer
the cable and the colder the weather, the larger the cable
size must be, as shown in the chart.
