Firewall Forward Kit

Optimate Battery Charger ( 2 hrs )

Received the "Optimate lithium LFP 4S 5A"  battery charger for the EarthX LiFePO4 main battery, Part No. TM291.  Recommended by EarthX specifically for LiFePO4 batteries.  Automatic test, charge, optimize (cell balancing), test and Maintain modes ( 10 steps).   Decided "making do" with Battery Tender Jr was not ideal.  Also finished RH firewall penetration with layers of firesleeve filled with hi-temp RTV per Sect 51-07.
10 steps shown along bottom
includes direct connection to battery terminals w/  plug. 
Performs all steps without interaction.
