PART 4: SETUP
4.1 CHOOSING A BATTERY
The MUTT® is a 12/24V DC device. Attempting to power
your MUTT®
with anything other than a 12 or 24 Volt DC
power source will destroy the internal circuitry and void your
warranty.
(Manufacturer’s Suggested Replacement: Group 31. MUTT® will auto detect 12 or 24
Volts. If 24 volts is required, two smaller 12 volt batteries can be used, but they must
be wired in series.)
