detailed in "Can I install power Master products myself?" We recommend you use a qualified electrician/electrical engineer to install your Power Master products. We provide a manual with your product, which gives details on the installation requirements or you can call us and we will advise.

Thoroughly wash and clean the old battery, battery terminals and case or tray with warm water to minimize problems from acid or corrosion. Heavy corrosion can be neutralized with a mixture of one pound of baking soda to one gallon of warm water. Wear safety goggles and, using a stiff brush, brush away from yourself. Also, mark the cables so you do not forget which one to reconnect. Turn off all electrical switches in the vehicle and shut off the ignition switch. Disable any alarm systems.

All we recommend for a battery charger is a "peak charger". This will charge almost any type of battery that you can find. If you have a "nickel metal-hydride" battery pack you will need to contact the manufacturer or see their website to see if the charger will properly charge that type of battery. Usually you will need a "delta peak charger" to charge nickel metal-hydride batteries properly.

A 'Battery Charger' is an electronic circuit which will generally be associated with a particular type of rechargeable battery. Once connected, it restores the electrical charge back into the cells of the battery in a controlled manner and maintains a 'fully charged' condition.

NO! Unconnected battery chargers (not connected to a battery) can put out peak voltages 20V or higher. If the pulser is permanently installed in the charger AND the charger is energized AND not connected to a battery, C1 will charge up to a damaging voltage to the 555.

Quite possibly. While the typical unfiltered battery charger is not a problem, some other types of loads, such as inverters, might shunt away some of the pulser's output. In such a case, place a choke in series with one of the inverter leads to keep the high frequency spikes from traveling further. This can be a simple ferrite toroid with one or two turns through it, or a few ferrite beads placed over the wire.

Here is another interesting setup I found on ebay: link Morgan-tec performance in Fort Collins Co. did all the fabrication and installation morgantec1@gmail.com

Small Power Inverters usually include a DC adapter which can plug right into a car's cigarette lighter, or other 12V DC outlets. Inverters that are 300W or larger usually connect directly to a battery via batter cables, or thick 0-4# wire. Always, follow the manufacturer guidelines. Inverters must be installed in a dry place. Never install inside an automobiles engine bay, or outside where rain or moisture can reach the unit.

The BCM-1 Battery Charger (Item #260206) for the EVOLT E-510 is rated at 100-240 V AC and automatically adjusts itself for the local electrical current. However, you may have to get a set of plug adapters for the different wall outlets used in foreign countries. Plug adapter kits are available at electronics and luggage stores. The EVOLT E-510 accepts CompactFlash cards up to 8 GB capacity and supports Write Acceleration CompactFlash cards.

a rule of thumb you can assume the minimum battery capacity for a 12V installation is about 20% of the inverter capacity. For a 24V installation this would be 10%.

The 4 pin battery connector has the following pin-outs: (1) +Volts-red (2) Thermister-Yellow (3) Blank (4) Ground, The 3 pin charger connector has the following pin-outs: (1) +Volts-Orange (2)Ground-Black (3)Thermister-Yellow

No, freight is included within the continental United States on new and reconditioned batteries and chargers. We only charge for installation (if requested) @ $75/hr in most markets.

In most cases, if you plug in the battery pack and the charger light comes on but your battery won't take a charge, the battery pack is bad. If you plug in your battery pack and the charger light doesn't come on, your charger is bad.

The charger draws a very low amount of current, even when the units are recharging. After the charge cycle is finished, the load is negligible. The charger will also shut itself off if it detects your car battery is low.

For both a dry or moist cloth can be used, but in no case dip it into water or put it under a shower.

This is a low charge rate that is applied to the battery after charging is complete and the fully charged battery is in storage in the battery charger. NiMh and NiCd batteries can loose a slight amount of capacity daily, around 1%, depending on environmental factors. The float charge is a charge level that is low enough to prevent overcharging, but still keep the battery fully charged.

You will need to know the battery type, number of cells, voltage and Amp-hour capacity. This information will allow you to select the relevant product range for your battery. This website shows the maximum charging currents available from each product, and this in turn will allow you to estimate the maximum charging time (see table). The final choice is really an economic one - faster chargers tend to be more expensive than slower ones!

No, but the supplied NC-E2 charger can be adapted to many inverter-type car battery adapters that are readily available in the market.

For the rechargeable battery packs, use the overnight charger that it is equipped with or use an adjustable peak-detecting battery charger that is set at a 0.5 to 1 amp charge rate. NOTE: some batteries that are available for Nitro cars are now nickel metal-hydride, and the proper battery charger must be used for this type of battery. Check your battery charger manual to see if will properly charge nickel metal-hydride (Ni-MH) batteries.

I think there is some electrical contact problem in your charger and you can fix it yourself in a few minutes.

To estimate how long a battery/appliance combination will operate together, use this handy calculator. (calculator may not work in Netscape browsers) Represents actual power consumption as measured on sample products. Click below for Chart of Typical Appliance/Tool Usage Tip: Deep cycle (marine) batteries generally have the highest reserve ratings. They are also capable of withstanding repeated drains of power and recharging.

Solar cells produce a direct current. Unfortunately, most of the electrical devices we commonly use expect a standard AC power supply. [Different standards apply in different countries, ~120 volt 60 Hz in North America.] An inverter takes the DC from the solar cells and creates a useable form of AC. Besides doing this, an Inverter may also be connected to the electric grid and/or a battery backup system.

Car chargers are a great way to keep you talking during a busy day or on an extended trip; however, using the car charger for more than two hours at a time can "burn-up" your battery. We recommend that you only use your cigarette charger for charging a low battery and never for more than two hours at a time.

Standard flooded lead acid batteries with standard tray sizes and amp-hour capacities are used. Batteries require minor modifications consisting of an additional set of charge cables and, in most cases, double cell interconnects to handle the fast charge currents. Single point watering systems are also added to allow convenient watering while the battery remains in the lift truck.
