1.INTRODUCING THE CHARGER

The Guest model 2608A-B-01 is designed to both recharge your batteries, and 
extend your battery’s life in applications where it is stored for long periods of time.
The 2608A-B-01 is a “2-stage” electronic, completely automatic, lightweight, silent, 
battery charger and produces 12 Volts DC at a full 6 Amps, while using much less AC 
current than other charger types.  Unlike automotive “trickle” chargers, the 2608A-B-
01 will not boil off the electrolytes in properly installed and maintained batteries.
When the charger is attached to your batteries and plugged into a standard 115 Volt / 
60 Hz AC outlet, the red and green LED’s let you know the unit is 

recharging

 and 

maintaining

 your batteries. This sophisticated device is ideal for recharging and 

maintaining the 12VDC batteries in your boat, electric vehicle or cart, ATV, 
snowmobile or motorcycle.
