INTRODUCTION
The Auto Charge 12VHO is Battery Charger is a compact completely automatic charger
designed for installation on vehicles with a single battery system. Remote sensing permits
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
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., are automatically supplied with current by
the charger.
