Amps (A): The unit of measure for charge or discharge current.

Milli-amps (mA): A unit of measure for current, being amps (A) multiplied by 1000 and listed as “mA”. So 2.5A is the same as 2500mA
(2.5 x 1000). Or, to convert mA to amps, divide the mA number by 1000. So 25mA is the same as 0.025A (25 divided by 1000). If a
current value is below 1.0A, the display will still show the current in amps, not milli-amps. For example, a current of 800mA will be
displayed as 0.8A. A current of 100mA will actually be shown as 0.1A, etc.

Capacity, milli-amp hours (mAh), and amp-hours (Ah): Charge energy stored by a battery is called capacity, which is defined as
how much current a battery can supply constantly over one hour of time. Most hobby batteries are rated for capacity in “mAh” or milli-
amp hours
. A 650mAh battery can deliver 650mA of current for one hour (650mA x 1hr = 650mAh). A 3200mAh battery can deliver
3200mA (3.2A) of current for one hour (3200mA x 1hr = 3200mAh), etc. Very large batteries, such as lead-acid field batteries, are
usually rated in “Ah” or amp-hours. A “12V 7Ah” field battery can deliver 7 amps of current for one hour (7A x 1hr = 7Ah).

“C” rating: Capacity is also referred to as the “C” rating. Some battery suppliers recommend charge and discharge currents based on
the battery’s “C” rating. A battery’s “1C” current is the same number as the battery’s rated capacity number, but noted in mA or amps. A
600mAh battery has a 1C current value of 600mA, and a 3C current value of (3 x 600mA) 1800mA or 1.8A. The 1C current value for a
3200mAh battery would be 3200mA (3.2A), etc.

Triton2 only accepts DC input power which could come from a 12V power supply or 12V automotive battery. It’s best to use a clean
DC power source whose output is filtered to remove unwanted electrical noise. Do NOT use an automobile battery charger as a power
source. To achieve the absolute maximum output power, the input power source must be capable of delivering at least 10 amps of
current while maintaining 12 volts DC. If input power is below 11.0V or above 15.0V the display will show an “Input voltage” error, at
which time you should re-check the input to ensure adequate power is present.

The input power lead is located on the left side of the charger.
Note the unique set of alligator clip adapters that are included,
and the female banana jack built into the handle of each clip. If
your power source requires alligator clips, slide the banana plugs
on the input lead into the female jacks on the alligator clips
(matching colors of banana plugs and alligator clips). Securely
connect the charger’s red lead to the positive (+) terminal on the
power source, and the black lead to the negative (-) terminal.

WARNING! NEVER allow the red and black input connections
to touch each other while connected to 12V DC power. Failure
to do so could result in permanent damage to the power
source and the charger. It’s recommended to disconnect the
charger from input power when not in use.

Triton2 has a maximum overall power rating of 90 watts during charge, and 20 watts during discharge. If trying to charge or discharge
a battery which has over 12 volts the charger might deliberately limit the output current so not to exceed its maximum rated output
power. Refer to the “Maximum Power Chart” included for more details about current limitations for higher voltage batteries.

Triton2 is always on when connected to the power source (there isn’t any ON/OFF power switch). Therefore, disconnect the
charger from input power when not in use. T2’s input is protected from reverse polarity and overcurrent by solid state protective
circuits, and does not include a fuse. If you suspect an error occurred with the input power and T2 will not function properly
after correcting the input power problem, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for details.
