Newbie trying to set up Megawatt for charging
Trying to figure out what all I need to set up a Megawatt for charging 2 120 amp AGM batteries. I was looking at the s-400 Megawatt,cuting one end off some cheap 4 gauge jumper cables from amazon....

I have the S-350-12. They have 3 terminals per side. I used 6, 3' 10AWG stranded. I crimped 12/10awg fork terminals on each wire for the power supply end and bundled the 3 and crimped a 8awg eyelet on the battery end. Make sure the terminals for the power supply end will fit the power supply terminal strip.
To measure current I bought This. If you don't have a voltmeter you may be better off with This
I adjust my power supply output to 14.5V before I connect it to the battery to allow for line loss. When it gets down to 1A my battery voltage will be ~14.4V.
A timer is a good idea, set it and forget it
I have the first voltage amp meter that is linked, purchased from amazon. Can anyone tell me where to hook up the yellow wire? I know red + and black - go to their respective spots on the megawatt but am unclear what to do with the Yellow wire?
