I use a battery tender. Does the module have an extra wire to wire into my accessory switch? is this connection explained in the installation instruct

It's made to come on in the day, you might be able to splice a wire and run to the aux switch.

No there are only the red/black leads and the 3rd lead (orange wire) to hook to one of your parking lights. There are no instructions about connecting to an accessory switch. By the way, I hooked up my CTEK battery charger this week and noted the LED's came on so I'll have to disconnect the module at the battery when I want to maintain/charge my battery apparently. Hope this helps -

The unit wires directly to the Battery then the extra wire onto the park light or the head light positive wire, do not wire direct to the accessory switch.

Your Battery Tender will turn that on. So I just disconnect one of its power wires when ever I am using my Battery Tender

Yes You have. That is why the pigtail so you don't have to disconnect the batter from the vehicle, just plug it in and it will maintain the charge, but You must un plug the tender before starting the vehicle

Ok. another newbie here. I was thinking about getting this to install on my shed so that I can put my motorcycle in the shed in the winter and still have the battery tender connected. Would this do the trick? Would I still need to use the battery tender or could i connect the solar panels directly to the motorcycle battery?

I am sorry to inform you that this product is designed for the 12V Battery Tender models only.Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Hi Le, The wire you have connects to photo voltaic panel and should not be cut. On the other end you can cut it to shorten and connect it to your charge controller. You need to get another set of wires to connect to your battery terminals plus and minus with battery clamps. Hope this helps, Derrick

You'll need an adapter to go from the battery tender to the venture coax. You can find them on the internet or simply make one. I used the standard venture harness and found an adapter to connect the battery tender. I think i purchased from motorcyclesuperstore.com.

You have to loosen the nut on the battery terminal and strip the wire and secure it under the nut. I went and bought an open terminal instead of using bare wire.

I didn't install any additional fuses. I'm guessing the ground wire is there to protect the battery connection. It was easy for me to do it, so I did.

This is a switch so you only want positive connections - one from the battery and the other from the load. These generally attach to the largest of the 2 studs and it normally doesn't matter which one the battery cable attaches to and which one the load cable attaches to. The 3rd terminal is for the Switch and often this terminal has an S next to it but not always. You shouldn't have to do anything with your negative cable(s) which should already be connected properly. If this is a brand new circuit then connect the negative cable from the load(motor,etc)to a negative bus bar or the negative terminal of the battery This is a switch so you only want positive connections - one from the battery and the other from the load.

The switch that comes with it has 3 terminals, 12v batt. 12v switched out and ground. And there is no load on the switch because it only powers the relay. I dont see why not?

You may need some extra wire if you're running it straight to the battery, if you're running it to the fuse box you may need to add a circuit, but either of those are inexpensive, it's worth the money.

Do you have the set up yet? When you do have, the instructions are very clear. They show the wires coming from the panel to the controller, a red and black wire. from the controller they go to the battery. This too is clearly marked. The wires that attach to your battery need a connector. If you still have trouble connect me again and I will give you my husbands email so he can walk you through it.

I am not sure that the Battery Tender Junior has the sophisticated electronics that the 4 up Battery Tender Plus does. I have been able to keep 4 ea. 27 size deep cycle batteries at maximum voltage and CCA for two years since I got my 4 up unit. I believe that the Battery Tender Juniors are designed more for smaller batteries. You would have to talk to the people at Deltran for a more detailed answer to your question as I am not an electrical engineer. I really like my 4 up unit.

yes, but you need an adapter. battery tender has sae connection & Wire from heated glove liners have DC Coax connection

I just happened to see your question.. No one has answered it.. It is typical to mount your disconnect switch to the positive side of your battery and system.. Making sure that your system is negative side grounded.. Also use at least a 4 gauge wire or a 2 gauge wire ( depending on the size and capacity of your battery) of minimum length of about 6-12 inches ( this is often called a "jumper cable") to connect one terminal on the switch to your positive battery terminal.. Just add heavy duty terminal rings to each end of your "jumper" cable. Then add the Positive wire of whatever was originally connected directly to your positive battery terminal, to the switch's other terminal.. Bear in mind that you are placing an "circuit interupter" between only the positive connections of your battery terminal and the positive connection of whatever you want to be able to disconnect. Dont get your wires confused. Of course doing this is your own responsibility. Hope this helps..

No, it needs the stripped wires. You can get pair of wires that have MC4 on one side to connect to panel and bare wire on the other to connect to the charge controller. Better to do this than cutting off the MC4 connectors.

no.. as stated, u use the one that comes with the tender...which has performed flawless. Have it connected to my electric start Emerg Generator on back porch.. always showing the green light which let's me know it's fully charged.
