Torqueing of dry cell bolts

I was just gonna go until the lock washer collapsed flat, but that doesn't seem as accurate as a torque wrench setting. I've over torqued many a bolts in my day, so its probably better that I use the torque wrench anyway.

I use my 19V Sears Drill/Driver, torque setting at #8(of 22).
Have no idea what the inch/pound or ft/lb would be, but it makes for a good seal and consistant bolt pressure on my 3/8" acrylic end plates.
