This is taken directly from the Marcum VS825SD owners manual:
To charge your battery:
Your battery has a wiring harness attached to it that has “piggyback” terminals
on it, enabling you to keep the power cord from the unit attached to the battery
at all times, as well as having the wiring harness with receptacle for your charger
attached at all times. To charge, simply couple the end of the charger with the
end of the wiring harness.
I don’t have a “Piggyback Wiring Harness” on my camera. My VS825SD has simple Red & Black slip on clips that connect directly to the battery terminals. These have to be pulled off the terminals, so the charger’s alligator clips can then latch on. Once charging is complete, I pull the alligator clips off and slip back on the Red & Black connectors.
Am I missing some type of cable harness, simply misinterpreting the instructions or did Marcum change the process and not update the manual?
I’d love to not have to unplug the cables everytime I charge it…
