Parallel Charging – Option 002
This option provides cables allowing two batteries to
be charged at the same time (batteries connected in
parallel to charger).
To prevent premature charger turn on, this option
requires the use of a battery connector with auxiliary
contacts (Anderson "SBX" or equivalent). The same
type connector must be specified on the battery and
vehicle. The connector on the battery must have the
auxiliary contacts jumpered together.
NOTE: The safety interlock circuit is protected
by an in-line 1 Amp AGC Fuse inside the battery
charger.
When charging two batteries, each must be of the
same voltage (or number of cells). The total rated
ampere-hour capacity of both batteries plus the voltage
(number of cells of only one of the batteries) must be
within the range of the charger. Refer to charger
nameplate for ratings. For example: two 12-volt
(6 cell), 225 ampere-hour batteries would make a
-volt (6 cell), 450 ampere-hour load.
Operate this charger as instructed in Operation
chapter of this manual except that batteries are to be
connected as shown in Figure 7-1, plus the total
ampere-hour capacity must be used to calculate
charging time.
CAUTION: Make sure all connections are
made positive to positive and negative to
negative as shown.

Series Charging – Option 003
This option provides a cable allowing two batteries to
be charged at the same time (batteries connected in
series to charger).

Both batteries must be of the same ampere-hour rating.
The total rated voltage (or number of cells) of both
batteries (add the two), plus the ampere-hour capacity
of only one battery, must be within the charger name-
plate range ratings. For example: two 12-volt (6-cell),
450 ampere-hour batteries would make a 24-volt
(12-cell), 450 ampere-hour load.

CAUTION: With the batteries required to be
connected in series, this charger cannot be
used to charge one battery only.
