VEHICULAR CHARGING
A 12VDC power cord is equipped with a cigarette plug and is available for mounting a charger in a
vehicle. The plug can be removed and the wires can be attached directly to a power source for a more
permanent installation. (A two amp fuse must be used on the positive lead.)
IMPORTANT:
Before making electrical connections in a vehicle, keep in mind that a shorted auto
battery can easily start a fire. Make all connections with insulated lugs or other connectors intended for
such use. Be sure that your installation is fused. The striped power lead is positive and the unmarked
lead is negative. When connecting the charger to a fuse block the striped, positive power lead goes to
the connector that is dead when the vehicle’s fuse is removed. The charger body is electrically isolated
from the charge circuit and allows positive ground installations. The charger is diode protected and if
connected in reverse polarity simply won’t operate until connected properly. Magnalight recommends
connecting chargers to an unswitched source of power to ensure the flashlight is always fully charged. If
the vehicle will not be driven for several days, the flashlight should be removed from the charger to
avoid vehicle battery drain. Charging the flashlight with a steady charger draws a constant .2 amperes
from a vehicle the optional fast charger will draw between .5 and .7 amps for up to 3 hours during the
fast charge period. During maintenance charge, current is pulsing and effectively draws .1 amps.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Simply unscrew the tail cap and slide the battery from the flashlight. Replace the battery inserting the
contact end first and reattach the tail cap.
