Installation
When connecting each jacketed battery charger cable, make sure it is connected
to only
one
12 VDC battery
and observe the polarity and color of all connections:
• Red Wire to the “+” (Positive) Battery connection
• Black Wire to the “-” (Negative) Battery connection
The black wire can never be connected to a terminal with red wires and vice
versa.
Important: The pair of red and black wires in 1 cable jacket MUST GO TO
THE SAME 12VDC battery.
