of each charger is connected to each battery. Each output of the charger is individually
controlled to charge it's particular battery and is electrically isolated from the other. Two
seperate ammeters indicate the output current to each battery.
ConstructionoftheAutoCharge Dual 12 volt-10 Amp Battery Charger is extremely rugged
to withstand the shock and vibration encountered in vehicle mounted equipment. Each
