VOLTAGE REGULATORS, AND THEREFORE CAN NOT BE TESTED BY SIMPLY
MEASURING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF CONTROLLER. THE CONTROLLER
MUST BE CONNECTED AS SHOWN IN ONE OF THE SCHEMATICS BEFORE IT
WILL REGULATE.

AND OTHER CURRENT LIMITED CHARGING SOURCES
.

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE WIRES COULD BE CONNECTED TOGETHER CONTINUOUSLY WITH
OUT DAMAGING THE CHARGING SOURCE)
