How to help your EHC survive
We have received a number of EHCs from customers for testing and a predominant theme is the damage that is prevalent on the EHCs when we receive them.
If you have not done so we highly recommend you examine your EHC in your Big Dog and make sure you have the following in place:
1) A minimum 1/8" neoprene foam base under the EHC as well as on sides
that may be rubbing or banging against the battery box.
2) Ny-lock nuts instead of a nut and washer
3) CLEAN Di-electric grease filling the connections
Yes the potting does isolate the electronics from some vibration.
However, it will not isolate the EHC from harsh impacts which will occur if your EHC is loose in the battery box and not properly mounted. Harsh impacts will reduce the life of your EHC dramatically so get it secured. You MUST use Ny-lock nuts and NOT a nut and washer setup. The Ny-lock will allow you to put just enough tension on the mounting bolts to pull the EHC snuggly against the neoprene and not come loose but not so much that the mounting stud gets ripped out of the EHC. This will also prevent the EHC from being to tight against the battery box which can lead to damage from harsh impacts and excess vibration.
Finally the Di-electric grease. It does not last forever. Clean the connections out every couple of years, at least, and refill them.
Remember to disconnect your negative battery cable before tampering with the EHC connections. Sudden voltage spikes can damage the electronics.
