Note: A standard 7-way round trailer connector (flat pin) input has the ability to offer a battery feed when your vehicle’s key is in the run position. If you have no charge coming from your TowIn+Charge system when plugged in, contact your local vehicle dealership for an appointment to properly activate this feature. Personal Safety Precautions • Someone should be within the range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when working near a lead acid battery. • Have plenty of water and soap nearby in case battery acid comes in contact with skin, clothes or eyes. • Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working with a battery. • If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters the eye(s) flood eye(s) with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately. • Never smoke or allow a spark or a flame in the vicinity of a battery or engine. • Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It may spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts that may cause explosion. • Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, and jewelry when working near a battery. A battery can produce a short circuit high enough to weld a ring or any metal, causing serious burns. • Never charge a frozen battery.

General Overview The All-In+Charge Tow-In+Charge system is equipped with a standard 7way round trailer connector (flat pin) that allows a 12-volt battery feed when your ignition key is in the run position. This battery feed offers the ability to charge your 12-volt batteries while you drive, increasing the duration of your accessory use when you arrive at your destination. Tow-­‐In+Charge Installation Note: All-In-Charge LLC is not responsible for any damage that may occur from improper installation. All-In+Charge Tow-In+Charge systems can be used to charge any type of 12-volt battery. Install All-In+Charge Tow-In+Charge only per manufacturer installation instructions. All-In+Charge Tow-In+Charge systems offer the ability to charge 12-volt batteries that have limited or no charging access. All-In+Charge Tow-In+Charge systems work by using power already generated (reusable energy), helping save on the costs of electricity used by AC chargers, and gas for gas-powered generators. All-In+Charge Tow-In+Charge systems can be used to charge your cranking batteries in parallel as you tow, as well as other 12, 24, or 36-volt applications when coupled with a specific All-In+Charge Smart Box. Patented All-In+Charge technology helps prevent damage to batteries caused by heat generation. All-In+Charge Tow-In+Charge systems work in tandem with AC chargers, helping maintain the charging of your batteries while you are driving Applications All-In+Charge products should not void any warranties on batteries, motors, or any other equipment. Please contact us with any questions or concerns. Connection Precautions a.) All-In+Charge Tow-In+Charge systems will only charge 12-volt batteries. Do not connect the output of the charger to any other voltage or type of battery. b.) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes. c.) Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post is usually larger in diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post. Tow-­‐In-­‐Charge Wiring Installation a.) Run your Tow-In+Charge wiring to its battery’s destination to see how All-In+Charge Tow-In+Charge in-tow applications include, but are not limited to: • • • • • • • • For your local All-In+Charge installer, please visit our website at www.allincharge.com. b.) Boating (cranking) batteries ATV/snowmobile batteries Motorcycle batteries Heavy equipment batteries Farm equipment batteries Fish house batteries Dump trailer batteries RV trailer (house) batteries much length you will need before securing quick connectors to an easy accessible area (Optional) Once you have adequate wire length to connect your wires easily to your battery, secure your Trailer Quick Connecters to an easily accessible area by using a 1/8" drill bit to drill pilot holes in the mounting locations. Add silicon sealer in each of the mounting locations to waterproof the screw holes. Position your Trailer Quick Connectors over the mounting holes and secure with a power screwdriver by installing marine grade or stainless steel screws (mounting screws not included). c.) Connect red wire from the Tow-In+Charge to positive terminal on “alternating (cranking)” battery. d.) Connect black wire from the Tow-In+Charge to negative terminal on “alternating (cranking)” battery. 2 7 Warranty All-In+Charge products come with a 30-day money back guarantee & 3 year limited warranty. Visit www.allincharge.com for more details. (Applications Continued) General Operation Snowmobile Batteries Properly installed, your Tow-In+Charge system will charge your alternating (receiving) 12-volt battery no higher than the voltage stemming from your main alternating (car) 12-volt battery, reducing the chance of overcharge on your batteries or heat generation that may cause damage to other surrounding equipment. When your main alternating (car) 12-volt battery is alternating power, your Tow-In+Charge will automatically charge and help extend the life your auxiliary or cranking batteries while towing. ATV Batteries Important Notice Make sure that Tow-­‐In+Charge Quick Connectors are detached between your trailer and towing vehicle before launching or detaching! Quick Connectors to be detached may depend on how Tow-­‐In+Charge wiring is custom installed. Motorcycle Batteries If you are charging batteries that are secured to an ATV or any other kind of mobile vehicle, make sure that the Terminal Connections are free of the battery terminals before moving your mobile vehicle.
