Default RE: where's the battery area?

OK, this is a beginner forum. What questions?

But right off the bat, there will only be two 12V batteries that can be involved.

One is the battery that feeds the Triton. The Triton is sold to be connected to a 12V power sourse. Hook it up to your car battery. That's the idea. And the big line with the alligator clips does that job.
Another 12v can be a flight box battery or the battery in some of the engine starter setups. Some of them are 12v lead batteries. Some have a cluster of 1.2V NiCds that often are 14.4V in total. The triton will do lead batteries. The booklet gives a rundown on that. But basically how you use a triton is fairly simple.

With any charger, you need a connector that hooks to the charger. The Triton uses bananna clips on the connector to the Triton. The other end has to be a clip specific to the battery, or for the wiring harness of the airplane, or for the item (engine starter with self contained battery). Hook all that up and the Triton takes a couple of button pushes to work.

Basically you press the button that's for selecting the kind of battery you want to charge and you do just that.
Then you have to dial that round button to the appropriate amperage for the battery. This takes some understanding. Look in the booklet, it's a page worth of words to get across.
Then you push that dial like it was a button.
And after awhile the Triton beeps at you and you unplug it all.

I just want some answers on plugging chargers and 12V batteries together.
gotta get at least enough knowledge on how to charge my reciever pack I just bought. 6 Volt 2000mah off a triton 2 charger with no hookups.
Didn't see any questions, so ask away..................
