Never… set the connection directly onto the tape!

On the starter post, for 2 strands, use 2 pairs of bi-polar jumper cables (#2BP59H) respecting the color code, “green up brown down” to connect them to each strands
through the buckles tensioners (#BP32 or #BP37).
The Bi-Polar charger connecting cable (#2BP59L) brings the power
from the charger to the buckle tensioner on top of the post (#BP32 or #BP37).
