Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an Endura EVC in-vehicle charger. This rugged product features
advanced charging technology and is designed for rapid charging two-way radio batteries from
a 12V – 24V source in a vehicle. EVC models are radio specific and provide a precision fit with
the battery. The model you have purchased will charge Li-Ion / LiPo batteries only or Li-Ion, LiPo
and NiMH batteries based on the batteries available for your radio. If you have questions about
your EVC model, contact your Power Products dealer or call 800-529-1618.

Important
1. Read all Caution statements below and this User Manual before attempting to install the
EVC or charge a battery.
2. Check to make sure the EVC model is compatible with your radio battery and battery
chemistry before installing.
3. Always charge new batteries completely before initial use. Recycle batteries when they
can no longer be used.
4. For best performance, charge NiCd and NiMH batteries when they are fully discharged.

1. Do not charge a battery unless it is designed with overcharge protection.
2. Do not discard unwanted batteries in the trash or incinerate. Batteries exposed to fire or
excessive heat may explode.
3. Install the EVC where it will be protected from rain or moisture.
4. Make sure contacts on the radio holder and battery are clean. Do not allow wire or metal
objects to touch the contacts.†
5. Do not open or make any modifications to the EVC. Use only the DC power cable supplied.
6. Always secure the radio (or battery) in the radio holder with the tie-down strap before the
vehicle, trailer, or train goes in motion.
7. Make sure that the tie-down strap securely holds the radio or battery, but is not too tight.
An over-tensioned strap could cause injury when released.

Installation
Before installing the EVC, confirm that the model is compatible with the radio battery you want to
charge and the battery’s chemistry.
1. Select an area in the vehicle to mount the charger. The EVC’s compact size allows it to be installed in
areas where other in-vehicle chargers will not fit.
2. Run the DC power cable from the charger and connect it to the vehicle’s 12V or 24V source. Fully
insert the DC cable plug into the connection point on the bottom of the charger.
3. Place the battery in the charger to confirm it will properly charge. If there are no issues, fasten the
charger to the vehicle and secure the power cable.
4. Use the 4 screws provided to fasten the EVC to the dash or wall of your vehicle. If needed, place a
rubber spacer over each screw on the back side of the charger to help stabilize the unit.
5. The tie down strap is properly sized to secure the radio in the charger. Place the elastic cord over the
top of the radio and attach the plastic clip to the retaining hook. When charging a battery only, the
tie-down strap can be made tighter by sliding the plastic clip up slightly and pulling the looped end of
the elastic strap over the retaining hook.
6. For models with a fabric tie-down strap, attach the grommet to the retaining hook.

Charging A Radio Battery
A battery may be charged while on or off the radio. Always use the tie-down strap to secure the radio
or battery before your vehicle is driven.
1. After the EVC is installed, switch vehicle power on and place a battery in the charger. The status LED
will illuminate RED continuously to indicate normal charging.
2. If the charge status LED is RED and flashes, a fault has been detected. The flash pattern represents
a specific fault condition. If the status LED is ORANGE (solid or flashing), an advisement is being
provided. See Fault Conditions And Advisements for details.
3. When the battery is charged to 80% of capacity, the charge status LED will change to GREEN and
flash. It is recommended that the battery be charged to at least 80% capacity before use. The charge
status LED will illuminate GREEN with no flashing when the battery is fully charged.
4. After removing a battery, the status LED will illuminate ORANGE for a few seconds. Allow the status
LED to turn off before placing another battery in the EVC.
5. A fully charged battery may be left in the EVC and a full charge will be maintained. This maintenance
feature will not damage the battery.
