These washers are used in sizes M6 and M8, and are critical for maintaining tightness in the battery box assembly, which experiences constant road shock.
The Spring rubber cushion is a resilient pad placed between the battery and the box or pressure plate. It absorbs vibration and prevents battery case abrasion.
Two types are used: upper cushions (against the pressure plate) and lower cushions (against the box floor). They are made of oil-resistant rubber with a durometer of 70 Shore A.
The Rubber ring is a grommet used to protect wires and cables that pass through holes in the battery box. It prevents chafing and short circuits.
This ring is sized for 50mm and 35mm diameter openings, ensuring a snug fit around cable bundles. It is made from EPDM rubber for weatherability.
The Self-locking screw incorporates a nylon patch or deformed thread that resists loosening under vibration. It is used for securing the cover and other components.
These screws are available in M8 size and are used in conjunction with washers. They provide a reliable, maintenance-free fastening solution.
The Seal cushion is a foam or rubber gasket that seals the battery box cover to the body, preventing water and dust ingress. It is placed around the perimeter.
This cushion is self-adhesive for easy installation and provides a tight seal that keeps the battery compartment clean and dry.
The Power supply switch is a master disconnect switch that isolates the battery from the vehicle’s electrical system. It is used for safety during maintenance and storage.
Two variants are available: standard and Hangzhou-sourced (WG910076100/1). Both are rated for 24V and 200A continuous current, with a robust rotary mechanism.
The Electrical appliances block assembly drawing is a schematic or layout diagram that shows the correct placement and wiring of the electrical components inside the battery box.
This drawing is essential for proper assembly and troubleshooting, ensuring all connections are made correctly and safely.
The Electrical appliances block is a junction plate or mounting board that holds fuses, relays, and other electrical devices within the battery box. It simplifies wiring and organization.
This block is made of insulating material and features pre-drilled holes for mounting components and cable routing.
The 2-type hex locknut is a full-metal locknut that provides a prevailing torque to prevent loosening. It is used in high-vibration areas like the battery box mounting.
These nuts are made from steel with a corrosion-resistant finish and are used with hexbolts for the most critical joints.
