Extending Operating Time

Longer operating time can be realized by connecting ElectroMate to an exter- nal battery. The external battery will combine the Ampere Hour hour ratings of connected batteries. If your original configuration contains an 80 ampere hour rated battery, connecting another similar battery will provide 160 am- pere hours of capacity. This at least doubles the run time of your unit before the batteries must be recharged. The user should be aware that with two similar batteries connected, (one inside and one external) the charger will take twice as long to recharge as with a single battery. There are two methods to connect to an external battery: One is to use the Jumper cables; the other way is to direct wire to the high current posts. Use the jumper cables for extending runtimes of lighter temporary loads. Use the direct wiring method for extended and more permanent higher power loads.

WARNINGS:

Never use the jumper cables to connect to a battery that is not stationary

–vibration can shake loose the cable clamps. A moving vehicle or boat can shake loose connections. Never operate ElectroMate or an external battery without securing them first. Cover any battery terminals.

Vector Manufacturing has #2 AWG cable sets that will ease connection to an external battery. These are equipped with a fuse, fuse holder and ring terminals on the cable ends. The cables are easily connected between the external battery and the high current posts. The only cautions are that the high current post connection polarities must agree with the battery polarities. The red cable must connect the red cap post and Pos or (+) battery terminal. The black cable must connect the black cap post and Neg or (-) battery terminal. Make sure all connections are tight. If you require a cable set, contact Vector Technical Support at 866-584-5504.
