1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Vanner Max P00143/181 Battery Charger. We are confident that
you will be satisfied with this charger's performance and its many features. With proper
installation and care, you can look forward to years of service from this high performance product.
This document will describe the operation, technical specifications, and installation procedures of
this product. If you require additional information please contact your dealer, or contact us directly
at the location shown on this inside cover of this manual.
2 General Information
2.1 Introduction and Checkout
The Vanner Max P00143/181 Battery Charger is a high performance three-stage battery
charger that has the ability to precisely charge 24VDC battery banks. The Max incorporates
advanced battery charging technology, correctly charging batteries automatically at rated ampere
output rather than tapering off like some other battery chargers.
The Max's unique three-stage charging design provides precise battery charging automatically.
When plugged in, the Max enters BULK tage and will charge at full ampere outputs for at least
20 minutes, or until the battery cells equalize at 28.6 VDC. The charger then automatically
switches to AB ORPTION stage, which maintains 28.6 VDC until the battery is fully charged. The
final FLOAT tage will stabilize battery voltage at 26.6 VDC until the charger is unplugged or the
charger's current limit has been reached. This three-stage design keeps batteries in top condition
and minimizes battery failure, resulting in maximum battery life.

3 Installation and Checkout
3.1 Selection of Battery Charger Location
• Charger should be located close to battery (but not in the same
compartment) for optimum performance (within 3ft.)
• Charger should be protected from weather. Install charger in
compartments that provide protection from direct water spray,
dirt, or toxic vapor.
• Mounting compartment should be well-ventilated and allow
adequate air circulation for charger cooling (2" clearance around
entire charger recommended).
• Do not store flammable items near charger.
3.2 Charger Mounting
• Install Charger in horizontal position, (mounting brackets are attached to the unit). This unit
requires airflow under chassis for proper cooling.
NOTE
Charger should not
be installed in same
compartment as
batteries.

3.3 Routing and Connecting Battery Charger DC Output Ca les
This Charger is designed for 24 VDC applications only. If
connected to non-specified voltages, damage will result.
1. Connect the Max Charger's RED cable to the battery's
positive (+) terminal and the BLACK cable to the
Battery's negative (-) terminal.
2. Battery cable connections must be clean and secure to
minimize electrical resistance for optimum performance.
3. Route and secure charger DC cables away from Hot,
harp, or Hard surfaces and components.
4. Ground the charger case properly. The unit is not
grounded through the negative DC cable.

4 Battery Charger Operating Procedure
4.1 Charger Setup
1. The GREEN light should be blinking whenever the 120 VAC power is not plugged in
and the battery is connected to the Max Battery Charger.
2. To start the charger, plug the AC line cord into a 15 Amp 120 Volt 60Hz power source.
3. The Charger will remain on until unplugged from the power source.2. To start the
charger, plug the AC line cord into a 15 Amp 120Volt 60Hz power source.
4.2 Charging Stages
1. When plugged in to a 120VAC shore power the charger automatically goes into BULK
mode (if the batteries require it) and the Amber LED lights up. The Charger stays in
BULK mode, which will maintain 28.6 VDC until the charging current drops below 75%
of full rated load.
2. When the charging current drops below 75% of the full rated load of the charger, the
charger will switch to the AB ORPTION stage for 20 minutes by stabilizing the battery
voltage at 28.6 VDC.
3. After the AB ORPTION stage the charger enters the final or FLOAT stage. The Amber
BULK LED will turn Off and the Green FLOAT LED will turn On. The Max charger will
hold the battery voltage at 28.6 VDC until the charger is unplugged or the battery
charger current limit of 41 Amps is reached through DC loads such as accessories,
lights, etc. which will then start the BULK stage again.

Max Charger SPOO143/181 LED Status Indicators
OVERTEMP LIGHT ACTION DESCRIPTION
olid Red The Charger is Off due to over
temperature. hutdown may be
caused by high ambient
temperature or restricted cooling
air flow to charger. hut down
sensor will auto reset when the
unit has cooled.
BULK LIGHT ACTION DESCRIPTION
olid Yellow Charger is On. Battery is low and
being charged at full current
output. Current output will remain
at a constant level until battery
voltage reaches bulk voltage
setpoint. Then, charger remains
in Absorption stage (constant
voltage-reducing current) for a
timed period before reducing to
float stage.
FLOAT LIGHT ACTION DESCRIPTION
olid Green Charger is On. Battery is close to
full charge. Charger output
voltage is reduced to a preset
maintenance level.
Blinking Green Charger is Off. Either the AC or
DC is disconnected from the
charger. Usually the AC input
power is off. ometimes this
condition will occur when the
charger has good 120 VAC input
but the frequency is not 60Hz.
