The Auto Charge 3 Automatic Battery Charger is a compact, completely automaticcharger
designed for installation on vehicles with two batteries. An internal charge divider charges both

loads. Indicator lights are provided to signal when the charger is charging and when the
charging is complete.
Construction of the Auto Charge 3 is extremely rugged to withstand the shock and vibration
normally encountered by vehicle mounted equipment. The unit operates completely
automatically and stops charging the batteries when they are fully charged. There is no trickle
charge and therefore no danger of ov ercharging and w ater boiloff . Parasitic loads on the battery
such as a radio, lights , etc., up to a maximum of 2 amps are automatically supplied with current
from the charger.
