( OPTIONAL) Water Proofing the Circuit

this charger would be possibly used in every season including rainy season, a layer of water proof fluid would do the trick

use a clear coat nail paint to protect the circuit from water.

Soldering

1. Identify and POSITIVE and NEGATIVE terminals on the Charger.

2. Cut 2 pieces of wires ( red and blue in my case) into length of 2 meter

3. solder the red wire on the bottom of charger.

4. solder the blue wire on any one of the sides of chager.


Wire Management

manage the wires by tying them using ZIP TIE, to avoid entanglement and wire getting stuck into moving parts of motorcycle.

Setup

1. place the charger according to your convenience, which in my case was near the speedometer of my motorcycle.

2. carefully work the wires across the engine towards the battery compartment.

3. connect the positive of the battery to the RED wire.

4. connect the Negative of the battery to the BLUE wire.
