FRONT PANEL:

on 4 pin female XLRs. A SpeakOn connector is used to connect the unit to the supplied external
battery charger. A Multi Colored LED "Fuel Gauge" to indicate battery charge level. A Power
"ON" and "OFF" toggle switch (delayed action for "OFF" switch) and a Blue "CHARGING" LED is

SIDE PANEL BATTERY CONNECTION THUMB SCREWS:
This device was designed to be used with commonly found 12 volt, 33 to 35 Amp Hour Sealed
Lead Acid (SLA) batteries. This size and style of battery was chosen as it is the most common size
available world-wide. This style and size battery is used in almost all electric wheel chairs, human
mobility devices (sometimes called "rascals") riding lawn mowers and many other uses. These
physical size batteries are also starting to become commonly available as LiFEPO4 (lithium Iron
Phosphate) chemistry. This will allow you to use the more modern, much lighter weight LiFEPO4
battery while working near your home and then switch to a Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery while
traveling outside of the country.
