INTRODUCTION
The Euro Charger II-VHO, Model 091-143-xx is a compact, completely automatic dual
channel battery charger designed specifically for the fire service and emergency vehicles.
The voltage of each battery is individually controlled so that each battery is charged only as
much as required. Once the batteries are fully charged, current stops flowing to guard
against overcharging and water boil-off. Of rugged construction, the charger is made to
withstand the shock and vibration normally encountered by vehicle mounted equipment.
Utilizing components which meet international safety requirements makes this charger
ideal for worldwide applications.
