DELTRAN BATTERY TENDER® PLUS
Installation & Mounting Instructions

The Battery Tender® Plus charger has an AC power cord with a NEMA 5-15 plug (3­pins, including ground) that plugs into a grounded, residential AC receptacle. The
approximate AC power cord length is 6 feet. There is no ON / OFF switch on the

charger.

ON THE 12 VOLT MODELS ONLY: The DC output cord is a 2-wire, insulated cable assembly with a

black, molded, 2 pin quick-disconnect plug on the end. That plug connects to a number of DC output cable
accessories. The approximate DC output cable length is 4.5 feet. The UL-1236 Standard requires a total of

12 feet from the AC mains wall receptacle to the battery terminals. The total cable lengths are AC cord
6 feet + DC output cord 4.5 feet + DC Cable Assembly Accessory 1.5 feet (18 inches minimum).

FOR THE 12 VOLT MODELS ONLY: The common DC output cable assembly accessories are:
(Approx cable lengths 18 inch min, 24 inch max.) Shown in order from left to right:

081-0069-6: Fused Ring Terminal Cable Assembly
081-0069-4: Fused Alligator Clip Cable Assembly
081-0069-5: Fused Cigarette Adapter Cable Assembly

FOR THE 6 VOLT MODELS ONLY: The common DC output cable assembly accessories are:
(Approx cable lengths 18 inch min, 24 inch max.) Shown in order from left to right: Notice the white

connectors on the accessories for the 6 Volt BT Plus.
081-0069-6W: Fused Ring Terminal Cable Assembly
081-0069-3: Fused Alligator Clip Cable Assembly
There is no Cigarette Adapter Cable Assembly

FOR THE 12 VOLT MODELS ONLY: Extension cables have the came cord configuration as the DC
output cable connected to the charger body. Each end of the cable extension has a black, molded, 2
pin quick-disconnect plug.

081-0148-25 Extension Cable, 25 ft long.
081-0148-12 Extension Cable, 12 ft long.

The following connection rule applies for DC cable assemblies and the black, molded, 2 pin quick­disconnect plug.

If the DC cable is directly connected to the body of a charger, then the exposed pin is connected to
POSITIVE voltage at the charger output. The same will be true for the exposed pin on the end of an

extension cable when the other end of the extension cable is connected to the charger DC output cable.
DC cable assembly accessories are designed so that the rings, clips, or the cigarette adapter connect to a

battery. The exposed pin on a DC cable assembly accessory is connected to NEGATIVE OR

REFERENCE voltage at the battery. Again, the same will be true for the exposed pin on the end of an

extension cable when the other end of the extension cable is connected to a DC cable assembly accessory.

Insulation will melt, and virtually vaporize. Conductors will turn bright orange
and any combustible material that is nearby will very likely begin to burn.

THIS SITUATION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
