10 AMP ON BOARD BATTERY CHARGER

Two Output

OWNER’S MANUAL

Connections at a glance:

For the best charging results both 12 Volt independent batteries should be equally discharged. The charger will supply 5 Amps to each battery output for a total of 10 Amps. When unequally discharged batteries are connected to the outputs, the charger will automatically steer more current to the battery that needs it. We recommend that you set up the charger near the batteries you wish to charge, and make connections in the following order:

1. INTRODUCING THE CHARGER

The GUEST ChargePro 2610 is designed to both recharge your batteries, and extend your battery’s life in applications where it is stored for long periods of time. The 2610 is a “3-stage” electronic battery charger with two independent outputs. Rainproof, lightweight, silent, and completely automatic, it produces 12 Volts DC at a full 10 Amps, while using much less AC current than older chargers. Unlike automotive “trickle” chargers, the 2610 will not boil off the electrolytes in lead-acid batteries when left unattended. When the 2610 is attached to your batteries and plugged into a standard 115 Volt / 60 Hz AC outlet, the red and green LED’s let you know the unit is recharging and maintaining your batteries.

2. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the charger. Read the entire manual before using. Also read all instructions and cautions for and on the charger, batteries and equipment in the vicinity of the batteries.

WARNINGS

THIS CHARGER SHOULD BE USED TO CHARGE SINGLE OR DUAL 12 VOLT DC LEAD ACID OR GELL TYPE BATTERIES. USE ON OTHER THAN A 12 VDC SYSTEM CAN CAUSE THE BATTERIES TO EXPLODE AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.

RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES! WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF LEAD ACID BATTERIES IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL OPERATION. THEREFORE IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

Personal Safety Precautions

Adhere to the following personal safety precautions when installing or working with the chargers:

1. Someone should be within voice range or close enough to come to your aid when you work

near a lead-acid battery.

2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or

eyes.

3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working

near a battery.

4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash them immediately with soap and water. If acid

enters the eye, flood the eye with cold, running water for at least ten minutes and get medical attention.

5. Never smoke or allow an open flame in the vicinity of the battery.

6. Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery. It may spark, short circuit the battery and may

cause an explosion.

7. Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when

working near a lead-acid battery. A battery can produce short circuit currents high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

Preparing to Charge Precautions

Before charging a battery with the charger, read the following precautions:

1. Do NOT operate the charger if a power cable or an LED is damaged.

2. Make sure all accessories on the product you are charging are OFF.

3. If the battery or batteries must be removed from the product, always remove the grounded

terminal from the battery first.

4. Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being charged. Gas

can be forcefully blown away using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material as a “hand fan”.

5. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.

6. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches levels specified by the battery

manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions.

7. Never allow the ring terminals to touch each other.

8. NEVER charge a frozen battery.

Grounding Precautions

DANGER

Do not operate this charger with a two bladed adapter plug or extension cord. Doing so can result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of shock, connect only to a properly grounded outlet.

3. INSTALLING THE CHARGER

Choosing Charging Location

The charger should have at least eight inches of unobstructed area on all sides of the unit for effective cooling. The case of this charger will become warm during operation. Do not install the charger on carpeted, upholstered, or varnished surfaces.

Mounting the Charger

1. Use corrosion resistant #10 dia. bolts, backed by a flat washer, and secured to the mounting

surface with a split-ring lock washer.

2. Hold the charger to the mounting surface and mark the holes.

3. Remove the charger and drill the mounting holes.

4. Align the charger and assemble the mounting hardware. Secure.

Making DC and AC Connections

We require using a 15 amp fuse P/N AGX-15 or equivalent on the DC side as pictured below.
