INTRODUCTION
The Auto Charge 12VHO is Battery Charger is a compact completely automatic charger
designedforinstallationonvehicleswithasinglebatterysystem. Remotesensingpermits
long lines between the charger and the batteries by compensating for the voltage drop in
the charging wires. An ammeter provides continuous indication of the charger output.
Construction of the Auto Charge 12VHO is extremely rugged to withstand the shock and
vibration normally encountered by vehicle mounted equipment. The unit operates com-
pletely automatically and stops charging the batteries when they are fully charged. There

EXAMPLE: Assuming a 24 VDC battery
system, the positive sense lead must
readapproximately+24VDCwithrespect

The battery “+” terminal must read
approximately +24 VDC with respect to
the battery “-” terminal at the charger.
These measurements shall be made
before the AC power to the charger is
applied.
