Installing the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger
975-0402-01-01 2–21
This guide for use by qualified installers only
the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger (Figure 2-4, item 1).
Use a flat washer, a lock washer and a nut (5 included in
the installation kit) to secure the connection.
Tighten the nuts to 2.3 N-m (20 lb-in.) torque and test
that the wire is secure. Do not over-tighten as this may
result in damage to the charger.
2. Connect each positive cable to the correct positive DC
terminal on the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger (Figure
2-4, items 2 to 4). Use a flat washer, a lock washer and a
nut (5 included in the installation kit) to secure the
connection.
Tighten the nuts to 2.3 N-m (20 lb-in.) torque and test
that the wire is secure.
3. Connect the free end of each positive cable to the correct
positive terminal of the battery (Figure 2-4, items 5 to 7),
using sufficient torque as recommended by your battery
manufacturer.
4. Connect the free end of the negative cable to the negative
terminal on the battery (Figure 2-4, items 8, 10, and 12),
using sufficient torque as recommended by your battery
manufacturer.
NOTE: If you are using more than one battery, you will
need to connect the negative cable from each of the
batteries to the negative ground bar or bus (Figure 2-4,
items 9, 11, and 13). The negative ground bar or bus will
then have a single negative cable connecting to the
negative charger terminal (Figure 2-4, item 14).
CAUTION: Reverse polarity damage
Before proceeding, carefully check the wiring polarity – make sure
the positive terminals of the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger are
connected to the correct terminals of the battery (fuses or breakers)
and from there to the positive terminals of the battery. Make sure
the negative terminal of the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger is
connected to the battery negative terminal (or DC negative bus). Do
not reverse the connections.
