I ordered the Megawatt, meter, jumper cable, I assume they go in a line, but how do you attach the cables together? I may understand how to do it when I get all the parts.
I will never know as much as the resident gurues have forgot, so I will try to just tag along and not get in the way!
Thanks

You do understand that those of us that use these MegaWatt PSU's have only one intended, planned use for them 99% of the time?
Set the voltage to Bulk Charge, and time the Bulk Charge, to get to a 85 to 90% State of charge for our batteries, strictly while running on a gas generator, or to get the MAIN portion of the recharging cycle done quickly.
The last 10 or 15% needs to be done manually, another way, SLOWLY usually with lower voltage than when in bulk mode.
It is IMPERATIVE that you contact the manufacturer of your battery to find out exactly what the bulk charging voltage is for your model of battery. It is up to you to set it and maintain it correctly, and monitor it. This is a manual charger setup, it requires some supervision until you get a feel for it and move yourself up the learning curve to become a professional battery recharger. Err on the side of caution starting out, watch your results, adjust accordingly.
Post up the make and model and amp hours and number of of your batteries here, so you can receive some further guidance and or insight in doing it right the first time.
