One common approach is to use the PowerMax Ultra with two Pelican Batteries.  
In this case, you will have 66Amp Hours of power available and your run time on 
batteries only will be slightly better than double that of using only one battery.  
We highly recommend that you use Pelican case batteries that are equipped with 
Neutrik Speakon connectors rather than 4 pin XLR connectors.  Standard 4 pin 
XLR connectors are only rated for use at up to 9 amps of current.  As the 
Powermax Ultra can charge at up to 15 amps per battery connection, the use of 
Speakon connectors is highly recommended. 
 
 
 
 

Dual Charger, Single, Large Capacity Battery (1X Optima Yellow Top 
Battery) 

 

 

 

 

Note: Both Charger Leads Connected to One Battery 
 
In some cases, you may wish to use one very large capacity battery with our new 
PowerMax Ultra.  In this case you can configure both chargers to operate in 
tandem to charge the one battery.  This will cut the charging time in half and also 
gives you the added benefit of having redundant chargers for reliability.
