The Guest MTC Model 2606A is designed to be used as a general purpose charger for

you set up the charger near the battery you wish to charge, and make connections in the

1. intRoDUCing tHe CHARgeR
The GUEST MTC 2606A is designed to both recharge your battery, and extend your
battery's life in applications where it is stored for long periods of time. The 2606A is a
"3-stage" electronic battery charger. Lightweight, silent, completely automatic, and reverse
polarity protected, it produces 12 Volts DC at a full 6 Amps, while using much less AC
current than older chargers. Unlike automotive "trickle" chargers, the 2606A will not boil off
the electrolyte in properly installed and maintained batteries. When the 2606A is attached
to your battery and plugged into a standard 115 Volt / 60 Hz AC outlet, the red and green
LED's let you know the unit is recharging and maintaining your battery.
