Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can the QuadLink be used with a Solar Charger?
YES, if the Solar Charger uses the same connector, is 6V or 12V
DC and does not exceed 8 Amp output.
2. Is the QuadLink water resistant?
YES, it is water resistant but not waterproof. It cannot be submerged or left in
pooled water or driving rain. Safety dictates that one should never use an electrical product in wet conditions.
3. Does the “bad battery” function still work when using the QuadLink?
The QuadLink is not a charger but a
charge conduit. If your charger has a “bad battery” indicator, it will work through the QuadLink connection.
4. Will the QuadLink work if batteries are connected to fi rst, second, and fourth outlet, skipping the third
position?
YES, the QuadLink will sense the open circuit and skip it after a few seconds.
5. Will the QuadLink work on multiple battery types and styles simultaneously? For instance, AGM and Gel or
Deep Cycle marine and small Motorcycle batteries all connected to each of the 4 stations?
YES, your charger
is still the “brain” in the system. If your charger has the ability to properly charge all of these battery types automati-
cally, the QuadLink will allow it. If your charger has to be manually switched to alternate settings to enable proper
charge output for these different battery types, the answer would be NO. If this is your situation, we suggest using
the Xtreme Charge to charge multiple battery types automatically.
6. Knowing that the QuadLink is optimized for use with the Xtreme Charge battery charger; does it also work
with other brands of chargers?
YES, as long as your charger is fully automatic and utilizes the same DC connector.
7. When connected to Gel, maintenance free and AGM battery with a charger that requires the use of a battery
selection dial for charging different battery types, what happens?
We suggest that you do not use the QuadLink
with this type of charger. Consider buying an Xtreme Charge to properly charge all these types on the QuadLink au-
tomatically.
8. If there is no battery connected, is power fl owing to the battery clips or eyelet connector?
The answer is NO
if you are using a fully automatic charger and it is functioning properly. We suggest that a manual charger NOT BE
USED with the QuadLink. Remember, the charger is always in control of the charge process, not the QuadLink.
9. Can I use this on my vehicle that has 4 batteries connected in parallel (in a 12V system)?
YES, as long as
you are connecting only one station lead to this 12V pack. Although it will cause no harm, we do not suggest the
QuadLink be used in a parallel connected multi battery scenario as there is no additional charging benefi t when com-
pared to single station charging to the pack.
10. Can I start my vehicle with the QuadLink still attached?
YES, as long as your charger allows this capability. The
QuadLink does not control the charge going into the battery; it is only a conduit for the power going to each station.
11. Can I change the timing so that one battery charges longer before moving to the next battery?
NO, the micro-
processor is not adjustable.
12. Can I connect two sets of leads to one battery so it will charge for an extended period?
YES, if you want to
allow a certain battery to have more relative charge time within the charge cycle, you can “double connect” a
station to any given battery. This will give that battery 10 additional minutes of charge time per cycle.
