Hi,
I'm new to building battery packs. I just bought 8 120 ah LIFEPO4 cells to construct a 24 volt battery. These cells have screw in M6 terminals. I've been reading as much as I can on the various forums and have recently seen posts talking about tightening screws, bolts and studs. Some of these posts talk about using a Torque wrench to tighten these screws, bolts and studs.
The M6 screws that came with my cells are made to be tightened with a simple hex key. If I tighten my M6 screws so they are snug is this enough? Do I have to go overboard and use a Torque wrench to some how tighten these to a certain nm value?
I don't want to mess up these cells, they cost me a lot of money. Any information is much appreciated.
