BattEQ LA-4-100, First one Mounted, Extra Wires Mounted

The Mounting Location...

The first BattEQ Module has been mounted on the Firewall with two screws. I figured - to put it there, as the most distant place from any intrusion, accidental contact, or other event. It also makes for a reasonable place to see it, while protecting it from a lot of finger poking by onlookers, etc.

First Module Installation...
The existing wires (14 Gauge) have had extended wire lengths added so as to reach the battery posts from the mounting location in the center on the firewall. The pieces have simply been overlapped with the existing wires, and taped together so as to get a working length, and to prepare them for splicing or joining - and the adding of ring connectors later.

Extended Wire Runs....

As the Equalizer module serves four batteries, there are five wires in all - one for the first batteries negative post, and one for each positive post on battery #1 - battery #4.
As the run from the BattEQ Module to Battery #4 is a long distance - I have chosen to run 12 Gauge wire for the extension length (about 8-9 feet with the run through the firewall, along the door sill, and back to the rear battery pack.

Tie-Wrap Mounts...

A number of Tie-Wrap Anchors have been pop-riveted around the edge so as to secure the leads from the BattEQ with Tie-wraps. Aluminum pop-rivets were used so as not to crush the Nylon Mounts. They were place along the firewall, along the inner fender edges, and - where possible, along the front rad mount frame.

The Data Logging Display...
This is a preliminary mounting - just to secure the wires, set the wire lengths and attachments, add the ring connectors, and do a balance connection test - while logging the data with the enhanced Data Logging display. I hope to log the before connection and after connection battery voltages and observe if there is a noticable change in the current condition of the Unbalanced batteries.
