delrin base cover. You’ll use the
same screws to attach the dovetail,
but set aside the cover.

the dovetail.
Install the dovetail with the screws.
The sled is now ready to accept
the battery mount.
Slide the 3rd battery mount onto
the dovetail from the rear of the
sled. Secure it in place with the
two captive thumbscrews.
The switch on the side of the main
battery mount is now active. Use it
to select whether the 3rd battery is
wired parallel (12V) or series (24V)
with the rear (#1) battery.

he optional 3rd battery mount has integrated wiring, so it doesn’t use one of your power ports. Once
you install the included short dovetail, the 3rd battery mount can slide on and off as needed.
