It is necessary to have a properly sized torque wrench, the willingness to look up the proper torque setting for the materials involved, and a willingness to spend the time getting all of the bolts right. The alternative is you take a chance on shortening the life of an expensive pack, or running out of power in transit. It is a choice one makes not torquing well... http://bit.ly/1dsHSCw
Good advice, Michael. Thanks for the reference! (That's a new way to look it up.)
It should be noted that sometimes the manufacturer's choice of materials and recommended torque is woefully ignorant. For example, a stainless steel screw in aluminum is a bad design choice. It's likely to be electrically bad, and is also likely to gall and seize in time.
