Hey- You are back on this? Sorry- I do not understand the nature of your post. What are you asking today? ---

Not asking anything. Just sharing the wire order with regards to installing the charger/converter using the factory connections. ---

Realize you have a mix of documents displayed there. Some are for the Surepower unit, And the last table are pinouts for the DC-DCI Converter. The only wire you need from that will be pin 1. (the rest is fluff) ---

Actually in order to activate the interlock you need to use the relay which is shown (pins 3 and 4). I have shown the three connectors that exist integrating the Charger/ voltage converter to the existing system with the three types of connectors you would use. One can choose to splice behind the factory 12 pin Deutsch connector or purchase the pre made lead. I purchased a 12 pin and 8 pin lead to make the project reversible if need be. As an added bonus I was able to make all the adapters on my bench instead of in the cart. New Charger Converter 4 pin Anderson/ 8 pin Deutsch Old converter 12 pin Deutsch ---

Yes- you are correct. I keep forgetting the other wires (anderson connects) are for the DC converter functions on the DCI chargers. ---

> [@Jonathan\_Cushing](#): > > you need to use the relay which is shown (pins 3 and 4). Or use P8 to replace green wire of Gem charger. Shown as NC, but wired internally to B+ interlock. P1 is enable wire for lithium chargers. Connect to B- or P2. [Previous page](https://community.electricforum.com/t/no-power-interlock/23241.md?page=1)
