INTRODUCTION
The Euro Charger II-VHO, Model 091-143-xx is a compact, completely automatic dual channel
battery charger designed specifically for the fire service and emergency vehicles. The voltage
of each battery is individually controlled so that each battery is charged only as much as
required. Once the batteries are fully charged, current stops flowing to guard against over-
charging and water boil-off. Of rugged construction, the charger is made to withstand the shock
and vibration normally encountered by vehicle mounted equipment. Utilizing components
which meet international safety requirements makes this charger ideal for worldwide applica-
tions.
