EG4 battery & cabinet torque specs

[wayne530]

I scoured the included documentation and online specs/manuals and didn't find torque settings for the battery terminals or for the cabinet bus bars so I gave @SignatureSolarUS a call and they told me to use 8 Nm for everything. I have the EG4 batteries without the LCD screen but they said it's the same torque setting regardless. The cabinet bus bars also have two different size screws, M6s for the batteries and M8s for connecting to distribution/bus bars/devices. Normally, the larger screws have a higher torque spec, but he verified we should use 8 Nm across the board.

I'm a little skeptical because in another thread SS support told another forum member to use 6 Nm. Has anyone heard any differently or found any specs in a documentation online?

Someone else at SS just got back to me via email and is telling me they recommend 2-3 Nm for the battery terminals. Wish their team all had the same answer

@RichardfromEG4 got back to me with the manufacturer's specs:

6 Nm on the M6 bolts (battery or cabinet bus bar)
8 Nm on the M8 bolts (cabinet bus bar)

Hope this helps and thanks Richard!
