When connecting to a battery or power supply it is
critically important that you use either a fully charged
12 volt car battery or a high quality DC power supply
that has a voltage range between 12 V to 15 V DC and
a minimum current rating of 20 A. Failure to use proper
input power can result in unreliable performance and
may damage the charger.
