CAUTION - IMPORTANT NOTICE: Don’t know your battery type? Look online or call your
local dealer with your battery manufacturer’s name and part number to identify your battery
type before charging. Do not charge or maintain 4D, 8D or other high capacity 6, 8 or 12 Volt
batteries typically seen in golf carts as they are typically wired for 24 Volt, 36 Volt or 48 Volt

Installation
OPTIMA
®
D200+ is designed to be permanently mounted on-board vertically with the wall organizer bracket.
Always mount your OPTIMA
®
D200+ in a compartment or area that can be properly ventilated during use.
Do NOT make any electrical connections to the OPTIMA
®
D200+ or batteries until the following
steps are completed:
10 Easy to follow installation steps:
1. Select a mounting location that allows for free air ventilation with a minimum of 6 inches of
clear unobstructed space around and in front of the charger. Open all battery and engine
compartments and ventilate for at least 15 minutes before starting the installation. Confirm
all battery cables can reach the battery.
2. Do not install charger on carpeted, upholstered, vinyl, or varnished areas. Be sure to place
the charger in an accessible area where all indicators are viewable. Install this unit on a
hard surface.
3. Using the wall organizer bracket, mark the position of each mounting hole. Ensure the mounting
screws will not puncture or protrude into a live well, a fuel or oil tank or the bottom of the vehicle.
4. Using a 1/8" or 7/64" drill bit, drill pilot holes in the (2) marked locations as described in step 3.
Insert the drywall anchors if needed. (Drywall anchors included)
5. Position the wall organizer bracket over the mounting holes and secure with a power screwdriver
by installing 2 stainless steel #8 screws. (Mounting screws included)
6. Install the charger onto the wall organizer bracket.
7. Connect the DC output cables as illustrated on pages 17-20. Make sure the black wires are
connected as illustrated to the negative side of the battery and the red wires are connected
to the positive side of the battery.
CAUTION: Connect the charger to the battery before applying AC Power.
8. Make sure all DC connections are correct, tight, and free from corrosion.
9. Locate the AC power cord in an open-air area of your vehicle at least 21 inches from the
charger, batteries, and fuel fill lines.
10. Connect a heavy duty UL approved extension cord to the D200+ first. After connecting the
extension cord to the charger, proceed to plug the extension cord to a nearby GFCI protected
(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet. Always remove the extension cord from the outlet first
when charging is completed, followed by unplugging the charger. You are now connected and
charging your batteries, and can view the LED indicators.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
- Maintain an obstruction-free area of 6 inches
around the product.
- Prior to mounting, confirm mounting surface
has adequate strength and thickness
- Check for electrical or fuel lines on or
behind surface.
