CM New Battery Installation
I guess no question is stupid when you don't already know the answer!

I am installing a new battery and want to make sure the terminals on the battery are torqued to the recommended 11 ft lbs, but I only have a good "inch pound" torque wrench.

Does 11 ft lbs equal 132 inch (11x 12) pounds?
