INTRODUCTION

The Auto Charge 3 Automatic Battery Charger is a compact, completely automaticcharger designed

for installation on vehicles with two batteries. An internal charge divider charges both batteries

simultaneously while maintaining complete battery isolation. A maximum output of 3 amperes

privides sufficient current for vehicles which do not have large constant accessory loads. Indicator

lights are provided to signal when the charger is charging and when the charging is complete.

Construction of the Auto Charge 3 is extremely rugged to withstand the shock and vibration normally

encountered by vehicle mounted equipment. The unit operates completely automatically and

stops charging the batteries when they are fully charged. There is no trickle charge and therefore

no danger of overcharging and water boiloff. Parasitic loads on the battery such as a radio, lights,

etc., up to a maximum of 2 amps are automatically supplied with current from the charger.
