INTRODUCING... THE C-CHARGER
Thank you for purchasing the C-CHARGER
. Your C-Charger represents the latest in electronic, pulse-modulated
switching chargers. It is designed for hard-wired, on-board applications only, and converts AC shore power to DC
charging current to maintain a 12 volt marine battery. The 40-, 50- and 60-amp 5000 Series models charge up to
three battery banks simultaneously. All of the 5000 Series C-Charger units operate under a wide range of input
voltages yet maintain a constant output, avoiding any danger of overcharging marine batteries. The 5000 Series
units are equipped with a cooling fan and a temperature compensation circuit that automatically adjust to temper-
ature variations, extending the life of batteries.
This manual covers the following models, listed by model number:
