Regarding the specifications, note these important points:

Standard Terminals: All batteries with a "T" at the end of the part number incorporate M8 (copper alloy) threaded insert terminals except as follows:

• PVX-340T & PVX-420T are M6 and PVX-2120L & PVX-2580L are "L" Blade (solid copper) terminals. All batteries are supplied with silicon bronze bolts, nuts,
  and washers required for installation.

• Optional (Copper Alloy) Terminal Installed at the Factory: Batteries with a "T" at the end of the part number (except PVX-340T & PVX-420T) are available with an optional factory installed "A" SAE automotive type terminal by adding the appropriate suffix to the end of the part number. For example, order PVX-1040TA instead of PVX-1040T.

• Optional (Copper Alloy) Terminal Kit: Kits can be ordered for `After Factory` customer conversions of "T" type batteries (except PVX-340T & PVX-420T) by ordering P/N 6918 for the "A" SAE automotive post kit. Kit includes terminals and installation bolts required for installation.

Terminal Torque Values: [M6 use 35 in-lbs / 4.0 Nm] [M8 use 70 in-lbs / 7.9 Nm]

Handles: All batteries include built in lifting handles except the PVX-490T and PVX-560T.
