the switch and is the "ACR" an onboard charger or must I buy a charger as well to do both batteries?

The switch positions are, on, off, and combine. In the on mode while under power the relay will sence the voltage of the starter battery and switch to charge the house batteries when it is full. To charge while docked or trailered you will need a onboard or plug in charger. Always charge with the switch in the off position to prevent damage to your rectifier.

Not a charger just a switch and semi-brain. Must buy a charger to charge or run engine to charge.

Yes to both questions. I bought a higher amperage battery to use as my primary power source. The charger works well, even when I took it overseas.

You will hook it to the + and - that goes to the switches and - to the one that goes to ground. They will most likely be on different batteries. I don't know what you call the first or last battery. This little charger works GREAT. Duane

yes, you get one battery and a charger. It is compatible with other B&D; 18 volt power tools so if you have any of those, you will have extra batteries that interchange. I love mine.

on top of the batteries there is what looks like a flip up handle - if you flip it up you will see the inlet for the plug, you just plug in the charger and align the pins and plug it in. When fully charged do the other battery.. I bought a second charger so I can charge both at once. But I don't think I would invest that much again. I have a broken bike in my garage. Have had to replace the back rim which is not cheap and the new rim broke within a few weeks -- if you can sell it do so - they are not built with strong enough back rim and spokes

When new the box contained a charger for two batteries. One battery comes in the box. You have to buy the second battery separately.

You can use your stock charger like normal. The supplied charger is for charging the second battery at the same time.

My application is different, 2 trolling motor batteries, 1 starting/accessory battery. The charger will charge all 3 batteries to full after heavy use in 1 evening, batteries are Optima Blue tops.

I use the charger for my Radio Control flight and car battery charger, but they are kind of expensive if you do not have a need for a mltiple battery cahrger, though you might be able to pick one up for around 40 to 45 dollars

The batteries should be about the same, the "a" in this case indicates a revised, probably improved, version. This charger will work for both.

The battery is included, it just takes AA. I'm not sure how many chargers it will provide. Yes, just take out the old one's (no screws) and replace

My batteries between them have indeed been interchangeable. The only difference I have been able to see is in the coloring of the lettering on the sides of the batteries. Chargers appear to be interchangeable as well.

Good question, considering both are at the same price level. Can't give a true answer, other than I went for the "newer charger". but both are excellent batteries, can't go wrong with either.....it was a toss up for me. Have found the larger batteries just take longer to fully charge themselves, but here again this is not really a "negative". Just really depends on your needs.

Which ever way you would like to charge either battery or either charger, it will work . I happy to say

Yes , My kit came with the dc18ra and after 2 years it quit working.( It took a lot of abuse at work though). When I went looking for another charger the dc18ra was a lot more expensive that this one so I looked i up and found the DC18RC. I have had it for a few months now and it works great with 18v batteries. I really can't tell a difference in the 2 chargers other than the color of them.

there is no switch on the charger. when you charge the battery all you do is connect the charger to to the scooter and then plug it in to the electrical outlet,when the light turns green just unplug the charger.

I have a strion s/n 201682 came with AC/DC chargers. I don't see any other numbers on it but it works very well for me.
