For connection to power sources not having banana jacks, fi nd a unique
set of alligator clip adapters included with the charger. A female banana
jack is built into the handle of each clip. Slide each clip onto the charger’s
input banana plugs (matching colors). Securely connect the charger’s red
clip to the positive (+) terminal on the power source, and the black clip to
the negative (-) terminal.
WARNING! Never accidentally short together the positive (+)
and negative (-) DC input connections when connected to 12V
DC power. Failure to do so could result in permanent damage
to the power source and the charger.
Triton2 EQ has a maximum overall power rating of 120 watts with DC
input, and 100 watts with AC input. If charging a battery with high voltage
at high current, or if the input voltage is low, the charger might limit the
output current as a result of the charger’s maximum power rating. This is normal. Refer to the “Maximum Power Chart”
included for more details about current limitations for higher voltage batteries.
The charger will be on at all times when connected to input power. Disconnect the charger from input power when not
in use.

to the banana jacks (red positive (+) lead to red banana jack, black negative (-) lead to the black banana jack).
WARNING! NEVER allow the positive and negative output connections to touch while a battery is
connected to the output. Failure to do so could result in permanent damage to the battery and/or the
charger and void your warranty.
