Installing Skylla IP65 - Start Battery connection?

Hello! I am installing a new Skylla IP65, 3 bank version.

In section 2.3 of the instructions, it says to "connect the positive (+) battery-pole to the "Starter battery plus" connector, see fig 1"

On my Skylla, That connector is nearly two small holes in the board which look to be for some sort of plug. What and how am I supposed to connect the start battery to these two tiny holes? Also, none of the three large connectors are marked for the start battery.

Hope someone can help!skylla-ip-65-install.jpg

The 3-output version doesn't have a start battery connection; the 1+1 model has the start battery trickle charge connector (that's the +1).

Admittedly, that section of the manual should probably have an asterisk on it to avoid the confusion!

Jim,

Many Thanks! I suspected that may be the case (hence my specifying it was the 3 bank model), but you have cleared that up for me in just a couple hours...and this is my first time posting. Hope all my issues are answered this quickly!
