PFC-75 Pack Wiring
Looking at the back of a PFC-75 charger or post 2011 PFC-50, you will see that
there are five individual Anderson Power Pole connectors. There is a black and a
red one next to each other on the top which is the DC output end of the charger. For
your convenience a red and a black Power Pole connector have been included with
your PFC-75. The red connector is for battery positive and the black connector is for
battery negative. Measure the distance from your most positive battery terminal to
your PFC charger’s red Power Pole connector. Cut a #1 AWG or thicker cable to the
appropriate length and solder or crimp the appropriate size Power Pole pin onto one
end of the cable. It is recommended that you use bright orange cable with a good
insulation and a voltage rating in excess of your fully charged pack voltage. (Bright
orange Carol brand Super Vu-Tron welding cable is an excellent solution.) Place red
heat shrink or red electrical tape around the cable near each end to clearly
designate it as the positive cable and then push the pin into the back of the red
Power Pole connector until it clicks and locks in place.
Next, measure the distance from your most negative battery terminal to your PFC
charger’s black Power Pole connector. Cut a #1 AWG or thicker cable to the
appropriate length and solder or crimp the appropriate size Power Pole pin onto one
end of the cable. It is recommended that you use bright orange cable with a good
insulation and a voltage rating in excess of your fully charged pack voltage. (Bright
orange Carol brand Super Vu-Tron welding cable is an excellent solution.) Place
black heat shrink or black electrical tape around the cable near each end to clearly
designate it as the negative cable and then push the pin into the back of the black
Power Pole connector until it clicks and locks in place. (See figure 05)
Use a digital volt meter to double check that the polarity in the plug is correct and
then plug the battery pack Power Pole connectors into their respective DC output
Power Pole mates coming from the PFC charger. Now the charger is connected to
the pack and you are ready to hook up the charger’s input power.
