 Posted: Tue Apr 29, 2014 5:42 pm Post subject: Battery and master contactor - ok to mount horizontally? |
 |
|
Quick question about Battery and contactor installation position:
I am moving my battery aft and am planning to make an installation similar to the example on Bob's website at http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/Battery_Grounds/Battery_Grounds.html
Except that instead of having the (SVLA) battery upright I want it on its side. Is that ok? And is it ok to mount the master and starter contactors horizontally (I'm planning to use rivnuts and bolt them to a horizontal sheet of stainless steel) instead of using L-shaped tabs to mount them vertically as in the picture?

Mounting the battery on its side and the contactors horizontally is just fine. It won't affect the operation of either device.

Hi, Jeff,
A word of caution for rivnuts: Be sure that you use rivnuts that are HARDER than the substrate, in your case stainless steel. Rivnuts have a bad habit of loosening in their holes, making the bolt nigh onto impossible to unscrew. Don't ask me how I know!
This might be even worse if you use aluminum rivnuts, as there will be corrosion between the metals, which will act as a lubricant.
Jim
