    The WF-9800 Series Converter-Chargers will charge the 12-volt house battery if installed. A battery does not have to be installed for WF-9800 Series Converter-Chargers operation. When a battery is installed, two reverse polarity fuses are installed to protect the converter circuitry. The fuses are located on the rear panel of the enclosure near the AC power cord (refer to Figure 1 below).
