TM 5-6115-593-12 TO 35C2-3-463-1 Section VIII.  MAINTENANCE OF BATTERIES AND RELATED ITEMS 4-13.  GENERAL.  This section contains information on the   batteries,   battery   tray,   and   battery   cables   of   the engine  generator  set.    Four  12-volt,  200  ampere  hour, 20-hour  rate,  lead-acid  type  batteries  in  series-parallel connection supply 24V DC for starting the engine in the generator set. 4-14.  CABLES. a.  Replacement.  (See Figure 4-9) WARNING Remove  negative  battery  cables  first, and insulate and secure. (1) Disconnect  all  negative  cables  first  then positive,    and    jumper    cables    from    the batteries.      Disconnect   the   battery   leads from the starter motor (see figure 4-44). (2) Reconnect positive cables (4 and 3, figure 4-9) numbered P140XX and P140H to the positive post of batteries BR3 and BT2. (3) Reconnect  two  jumpers  (1)  between  the negative   and   positive   post   of   batteries BT1 and BT2; and BT3 and BT4. (4) Reconnect    negative    cables    (5    and    2) numbered    P55XX    and    P55YY    to    the negative  post  of  batteries  BT1  and  BT4 and to ground post P2 on engine block. b.  Repair. (1) If terminals are damaged, remove damaged terminals and insulation sleeving, and clean wire lead. (2) Orient  new  terminal  in  same  position  as the one removed, and crimp terminal onto cable. (3) Tape  connection  so  that  no  bare  wire  is exposed. (4) If  wire  is  damaged,  replace  entire  cable assembly. 4-15.  CABLE FABRICATION. a.    Cable  Construction.    There  are  six  separate battery  cables  (five  different  lengths  and  terminations) constructed as follows: (1) Materials required: Wire, electrical, 4/0 (P/N MIL-C-5756) Terminal lug (P/N MS25036-141) Battery  terminal  lug  (P/N  76-11294-01  and  76-11294- 02). Insulation,  sleeving  1-1/2  in.    (38.    1  mm)  ID,  red  and black (2) Cable  P/N  76-11424-01,  see  figure  4-10, detail A. a. Cut wire to 81 inches (206 cm) and strip    insulation    from    both    ends. Strip   0.      62   inch   (15.      7   mm)   at terminal lug end, and 0.  75 inch (19 mm) at battery terminal lug end. b. Attach battery terminal lugs on ends of wire as shown.  Orient the lugs as shown,    then    crimp    the    terminals securely. c. Push  sleeving  up  to  terminals  and apply heat of 400°F (204°C) for 3 to 5 seconds to obtain proper shrinkage. NOTE Cables   76-11424-02,   76-11422-01,   and 76-11422-02     can     be     constructed     the same way, only length of wire differs. (3) Cable  P/N  76-11423  is  fabricated  similar to  other  cables,  except  that  the  wire  has battery   terminal   lugs   at   both   ends,   see figure 4-10, detail B. 4-34
