1.) Connect the positive (orange) battery clamp or eye-
let terminal connector to the positive (POS,P,+) battery
terminal.
2.) Connect the negative (black) battery clamp or eyelet
terminal connector to the negative (NEG,N,-) battery ter-
minal or vehicle chassis.
3.) Connect the battery charger's AC power plug into a
suitable electrical outlet. Do not face the battery when
making this connection.
4.) When disconnecting the battery charger, disconnect
in the reverse sequence, removing the negative first (or
positive first for positive ground systems).
BEGIN CHARGING
1.) Verify the voltage and chemistry of the battery.
2.) Confirm that you have connected the battery clamps
or eyelet terminal connectors properly and the AC power
plug is plugged into an electrical outlet.
3.) The charger will begin in Standby mode, indicated by
an orange LED. In Standby, the charger is not providing
any power.
4.) Press the mode button to toggle to the appropriate
charge mode (press and hold for three seconds to enter
an advanced charge mode) for the voltage and chemis-
try of your battery.
5.) The mode LED will illuminate the selected charge
mode and the Charge LEDs will illuminate (depending on
the health of the battery) indicating the charging process
has started.
6.) The charger can now be left connected to the battery
at all times to provide maintenance charging.
UNDERSTANDING CHARGE LEDS
The charger has four Charge LEDs - 25%, 50%, 75%
and 100%. These Charge LEDs indicate the connect-
ed battery(s) state-of-charge (SOC). See the expla-
nation below:
LED Explanation
25% The 25% Charge LED will slowly pulse
Red LED "on" and "off", when the battery is less
than 25% fully charged. When the bat-
25% 50% 75% 100% tery is 25% charged, the red Charge LED
will be solid.
50% The 50% Charge LED will slowly pulse
Red LED "on" and "off", when the battery is less
than 50% fully charged. When the bat-
25% 50% 75% 100%
tery is 50% charged, the red Charge LED
will be solid.
75% The 75% Charge LED will slowly pulse "on"
Orange LED and "off", when the battery is less than
75% fully charged. When the battery is
25% 50% 75% 100%
75% charged, the orange Charge LED will
be solid.
100% The 100% Charge LED will slowly pulse
Green LED "on" and "off", when the battery is less
than 100% fully charged. When the bat-
25% 50% 75% 100%
tery is fully charged, the green LED will
be solid, and the 25%, 50% and 75%
Charge LEDs will turn "off".
Mainte- During maintenance charging, the 100%
nance Charge LED will pulse "on" and "off" slowly.
Green LED When the battery is topped off and fully
charged again, the 100% Charge LED will
25% 50% 75% 100%
turn solid green. The charger can be left
connected to the battery indefinitely.
