Tools and Materials

Installation

To mount and connect the Truecharge™ 2 Battery

Charger you need the following tools:

•10 mm socket wrench and extension for the DC terminals and ground stud

•Phillips screwdriver for removing and re-securing the AC and DC wiring compartment covers

•power drill/screwdriver

•drill bit for pilot holes for mounting screws (if using #6 mounting screws, use 1/16 drill)

•wire stripper

•manufacturer's recommended crimp tool for any crimp terminals that are being used

You need the following materials:

•3 conductor AC input wiring

Use the information in “Installing AC Wiring” on page 2–20and your local electrical codes to determine the correct wire and breaker or fuse.

•AC cable strain relief (if the one included is not compliant with your local electrical code requirements)

•appropriately sized DC cables for each battery, with suitable connectors at the battery end

Use the information in “DC Wiring” on page 2–8and your local electrical codes to determine the correct wire and breaker or fuse.

•appropriately sized DC chassis ground (earth) with suitable connectors

•ring terminals to fit 6 mm (1/4 in.) studs at the charger end (Marine grade hardware is recommended).

•DC fused disconnect or properly rated circuit breaker for each battery bank

•mounting screws, M3 or #6 marine grade, corrosion resistant (4 pieces) (Length dependent on mounting surface).
