Auxiliary Battery - Little Guy Silver Shadow Owner's Manual

Please follow converter manual for operation and safety instructions. Do not block the small, automatic cooling fan on the
converter.

Auxiliary Battery

TO AVOID CONVERTER DAMAGE DO NOT REVERSE THE BATTERY POLARITY!
Caution: Wet RV Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Handle with care.
An auxiliary battery enables you to operate 12-volt dc appliances without draining your tow vehicle battery or plugging your
converter into a 120volt AC receptacle. Lights, heater fans, water pumps, roof fans, radios, and cigarette lighter receptacles can run
on the auxiliary battery power. Air conditioners, microwave ovens, and standard outlets operate exclusively on 120 volts AC and
therefore cannot run from auxiliary battery power.
T@B and Rough Riders use a deep cycle battery because its design gives maximum performance between recharging without
damaging the battery. Note: A deep cycle battery will take longer to recharge as compared to a regular automotive battery. All
other models employ an on-board, dry cell battery.
Secure the lug and wire that has the 20-amp in line fuse to the batteries positive terminal. The lugs on the remaining two white
wires connect to the batteries negative terminal. ** Do not reverse the polarity of the battery and 12 volt wires as damage can
occur to the converter and wiring system **
If there is an electrical problem, first check the 20-amp fuse at the battery then check the fuses located in the converter.
Do not replace battery fuses with anything other than a 20-amp fuse. Some models are equipped with an internal storage box for
the battery. This dual vented battery box is required to discharge the hydrogen gas produced during charging. In cold weather, store
the battery in a location where the temperature remains above freezing. Do not charge or store your battery in the camper unless it
is in its proper enclosure.
