The remaining two terminals connect to a datalogger, or other device, with a 5 A fuse. Refer to the diagram below when attaching wires to the battery terminal bus.
1. Attach a 4386 battery terminal bus stuffed circuit board to each terminal on the battery. Orient the battery terminal bus as shown.
2. Use a red wire to connect the battery charger (+) terminal to the CHARGE terminal on the positive battery post.
3. Use a red wire to connect the datalogger or other device to the LOAD terminal on the positive battery post.
4. Use a black wire to connect the battery charger () terminal to the CHARGE terminal on the negative battery post.
5. Use a black wire to connect the datalogger or other device to the LOAD terminal on the negative battery post.
NOTE: Use 18-AWG wire for all connections. PN 28490 includes an 18-AWG red wire and an 18-AWG black wire (1 ft each).
