Features

Thank you for your purchase of the Xtreme Charge®QuadLink®from PulseTech®

Products Corporation.

PulseTech®Products Corporation (www.PulseTech.net) is nationally recognized for

its innovative technologies speciﬁcally designed to improve 6/12V battery perfor-

mance, trim replacement costs by extending battery life cycles and contributing to

the nation’s environmental movement to think and act Green by keeping batteries

healthy and out of the waste stream, landﬁlls and smelters.

With the development of the QuadLink, Xtreme Charge®has multiplied this useful

application by 4 times—turning any 6V or 12V DC battery charger (using the stan-

dard 2-prong output connector) into a 4-station maintenance charger.

There’s no more need to spend time or to remember to switch back and forth

between vehicles or batteries in storage. Utilizing a simple, plug and play system,

QuadLink automatically splits and distributes 10-minute charge segments to up to

four batteries.

Applications include a wide variety of vehicles and equipment, including automobiles,

light trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, motor homes, small boats and watercraft, lawn

mowers and equipment, ATVs and even golf carts. When mated with a typical

maintenance charger (see User Guide) the QuadLink’s microprocessor automatically

adapts to the number of batteries actually connected.

Included with your QuadLink purchase:

1 – QuadLink 4-station charger multiplier

4 - Eyelet lug adaptor cables

4 - 5' extension leads

(Additional 5'and 25' lead extensions available separately)

User Guide

Do not operate without ﬁrst reading these important safety notices and use instructions.

Additionally, do not use this without ﬁrst reading important safety notices and use

instructions that come with your battery charger/maintainer and your battery.

NOTE: As part of good safety routine, this product is designed for use only with automatically controlled

charger maintainers and is optimized for use with the Xtreme Charge family of products. It is not

suggested for use with manual maintenance chargers that cannot be used without constant supervision.

1. Inspect all cable leads and connections to be sure that they are all in good working condi-

tion. Never use cable leads or clips that are worn, damaged or frayed in any way. Replace

worn or damaged leads prior to use. Do not alter or otherwise modify cables as this could

cause an unsafe condition possibly resulting in personal injury, explosion or ﬁre.

2. Connect the output of your battery charger/

maintainer to the input of the QuadLink.

Note: The charger must have the same industry

standard 2-prong connector to mate properly

with the QuadLink.

3. Connect the extension leads that come with the QuadLink to either the standard attached

battery eyelet connector on each vehicle battery and/or to the charging clip set that comes

with your charger. Be sure to ﬁrst connect the red battery clip to the positive (+) battery

terminal. Then connect the black battery clip

to the negative (-) battery terminal. Also, be

sure to double check that your attached eyelet

terminal cable sets are properly polarized.

Once you have connected the cable leads to

all batteries in use, you can begin the battery

maintenance process by plugging in your

charger to your AC power source.

4. What is happening:

A. Your battery charger is still in full control of the charging processes. Always refer to the

battery charger manufacturer’s instructions or the user interface on your charger to

determine what state of charge your battery is in.

B. The QuadLink is almost transparent to the battery. It does not add to the charging

capabilities of your charger, just to the number of batteries being maintained. Your

charger is still the “brain” in the system.

C. A blinking green LED light will indicate the ﬁrst battery

connected to the QuadLink. Once additional batteries are

connected, a solid glowing green LED light will verify

connection to all additional connected stations. Once the

charger is connected to the QuadLink and plugged into the

AC power source, the charging cycle begins. From this point

forward, the station or battery that is currently “live” or

being charged is indicated by a blinking green LED light.

D. Every 10 minutes, the QuadLink will switch to the next battery in line. If there is no

battery connected to any given channel, the channel will be skipped after a short qualiﬁ-

cation process.

E. Cycle rotation will continue indeﬁnitely, maintaining the

charge of all 4 batteries for you automatically. The

QuadLink distributes your charger’s full power, moving

from battery to battery in 10-minute increments.

F. If you would like to remove a battery from the chain, it is

always best to unplug the QuadLink from the charger and

the charger from the AC power source ﬁrst. Once the battery

is disconnected and the units are plugged back in, the

QuadLink will reset and recognize the batteries in the circuit

and skip any open channels after a circuit veriﬁcation test.

G. If you replace or add a battery to an open channel, again it is always best to unplug

the QuadLink from the charger and the charger from the AC power source ﬁrst. Once

you have connected the new battery to the circuit and plugged the units back in, the

QuadLink will reset and recognize the additional battery in the circuit and begin the

process again.

Use Comments and Suggestions:

1. If you are putting a vehicle/battery away for an extended period, it is always best to give

the battery a good charge on its own for a few days and test it prior to putting it away for a

season or any extended period. This will assure that proper storage maintenance will occur

without a hitch.

2. If there is ever a power outage, it is likely that during the outage, the charger may and the

QuadLink will consume a small amount of power via LED light indication of the batteries’

state of charge and channel indication. This is common and will not cause noticeable dis-

charge of the batteries in the circuit unless the power is out for an extended period of time.

Note: If either AC input power to the charger or DC power from the charger to the QuadLink

is purposely disconnected for any extended period for any reason, disconnect the QuadLink

from the batteries in the circuit until power is restored. This will assure that the batteries are not

unintentionally discharged.

3. If for any reason the QuadLink is not unplugged from the DC power source and allowed

to reset during removal of a battery, the LED channel indicator will remain illuminated

until the next cycle provides a circuit veriﬁcation test indicating an open circuit. The output

previously associated with the removed battery will then in turn be skipped.

4. For use more customized to your speciﬁc needs, including additional 5' extension leads

(part #100X805) and 25' extension leads (part #100X825), please visit www.PulseTech.net.

Additional Functionality:

The QuadLink is also uniquely designed to

provide a very useful service of maintaining the

state of charge of multiple 6V or 12V batteries

in 24, 36 and 48V series connected conﬁgura-

tions typically used in Golf Carts or similarly

designed vehicles or battery packs.

The user would simply connect each output

lead using the provided eyelet lug connectors

(up to 4) to each of the 6V or 12V segments of

the multiple battery conﬁgurations and in doing

so allow the QuadLink to maintenance charge

each of the 6V or 12V segments of the pack in

10-minute intervals. This will ensure that the

entire pack is maintained at the state of charge

that they were left at when stored or left unused

for an extended period.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can the QuadLink be used with a Solar Charger? YES, if the Solar Charger uses the same connector, is 6V or 12V

DC and does not exceed 8 Amp output.

2. Is the QuadLink water resistant? YES, it is water resistant but not waterproof. It cannot be submerged or left in

pooled water or driving rain. Safety dictates that one should never use an electrical product in wet conditions.

3. Does the “bad battery” function still work when using the QuadLink? The QuadLink is not a charger but a

charge conduit. If your charger has a “bad battery” indicator, it will work through the QuadLink connection.

4. Will the QuadLink work if batteries are connected to ﬁrst, second, and fourth outlet, skipping the third

position? YES, the QuadLink will sense the open circuit and skip it after a few seconds.

5. Will the QuadLink work on multiple battery types and styles simultaneously? For instance, AGM and Gel or

Deep Cycle marine and small Motorcycle batteries all connected to each of the 4 stations? YES, your charger

is still the “brain” in the system. If your charger has the ability to properly charge all of these battery types automati-

cally, the QuadLink will allow it. If your charger has to be manually switched to alternate settings to enable proper

charge output for these different battery types, the answer would be NO. If this is your situation, we suggest using

the Xtreme Charge to charge multiple battery types automatically.

6. Knowing that the QuadLink is optimized for use with the Xtreme Charge battery charger; does it also work

with other brands of chargers? YES, as long as your charger is fully automatic and utilizes the same DC connector.

7. When connected to Gel, maintenance free and AGM battery with a charger that requires the use of a battery

selection dial for charging different battery types, what happens? We suggest that you do not use the QuadLink

with this type of charger. Consider buying an Xtreme Charge to properly charge all these types on the QuadLink au-

tomatically.

8. If there is no battery connected, is power ﬂowing to the battery clips or eyelet connector? The answer is NO

if you are using a fully automatic charger and it is functioning properly. We suggest that a manual charger NOT BE

USED with the QuadLink. Remember, the charger is always in control of the charge process, not the QuadLink.

9. Can I use this on my vehicle that has 4 batteries connected in parallel (in a 12V system)? YES, as long as

you are connecting only one station lead to this 12V pack. Although it will cause no harm, we do not suggest the

QuadLink be used in a parallel connected multi battery scenario as there is no additional charging beneﬁt when com-

pared to single station charging to the pack.

10. Can I start my vehicle with the QuadLink still attached? YES, as long as your charger allows this capability. The

QuadLink does not control the charge going into the battery; it is only a conduit for the power going to each station.

11. Can I change the timing so that one battery charges longer before moving to the next battery? NO, the micro-

processor is not adjustable.

12. Can I connect two sets of leads to one battery so it will charge for an extended period? YES, if you want to

allow a certain battery to have more relative charge time within the charge cycle, you can “double connect” a

station to any given battery. This will give that battery 10 additional minutes of charge time per cycle.
