AUTO CHARGE 12, 091-165-12
INSTALLA TION GUIDE & MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
The Auto Charge 12 Battery Charger is a compact completely
automatic charger designed for installation on vehicles with
one (1) battery. The Auto Charge 12 provides complete battery
charging for a single 12VDC battery or single 12VDC battery
bank. The voltage of the battery connected to the Auto
Charge 12 is sensed via the charging cables so that the battery
is charged according to it's requirements. The maximum
output of the charger is 12 Amperes DC. An ammeter provides
continuous indication of the charger output.
Construction of the Auto Charge 12 is extremely rugged to
withstand the shock and vibration normally encountered by
vehicle mounted equipment. The unit operates completely
automatically and stops charging the batteries when they
are fully charged. There is no trickle charge and therefore no
danger of overcharging and water boil-off. Any parasitic loads
on the battery such as radio, lights, etc., will be supplied by
current from the charger.
The Auto Charge 12 incorporates an internal thermal safety
device. Should the internal temperature of the Auto Charge
12 elevate beyond specification the charger will automatically
shut down. The Auto Charge 12 will resume battery charging
once the internal temperature has decreased to specification
level.
