POSITIVE GROUNDED POST
5B. For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from battery charger to
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post of battery. Connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle
chassis or engine block away from battery. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of the
frame or engine block.
WARNING: Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet metal body parts.
NOTE: Attach clips to battery post and twist or rock back and forth several times to make
a good connection. This tends to keep clips from slipping off terminals and helps to reduce
risk of sparking.
6. Select amperage:
7. Follow steps 1-4 in Battery Charger Section K.
8. When battery is fully charged, unplug charger from AC power source.
9. Remove charger clips from (1) chassis and (2) battery pole, in that order.

Charging battery out vehicle
When charging battery out of vehicle, take care to determine the battery type. To reduce risk of
a spark near battery, follow these steps when battery is outside vehicle.
WARNING: When removing battery from vehicle or boat, disconnect grounded pole first. When
disconnecting, make sure all accessories are off, so as not to cause an arc.
(NOTE: A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. (To charge on board
requires special equipment designed for marine use).
1. Check polarity of battery posts. Battery case will be marked by each post: POSITIVE (POS, P,
+) and NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -). NOTE: The positive battery post usually has a larger diameter
than the negative post.
2. Attach a 24-inch long (or longer) 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG,
N, -) battery post. (The 24" lead is not supplied. You may purchase at most automotive
stores.) The 24" lead provides a safer connection condition. Sparking or arcing could occur
when connecting the charger clip to the lead.
3. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post battery. Rock clip back and
forth to make good connection.
4. Position yourself and free end of 24-inch cable as far away from battery as possible. Then
connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to free end of cable. WARNING: Do not face battery
when making final connection. Rock clip back and forth to make a good connection.
5. Select amperage.
6. Follow steps 1-4 in Battery Charger Section.

8. When battery is fully charged and charger is unplugged, (1) Remove clip from end of
Negative end of cable, then (2) Remove clip from Positive battery post, in that order.
9. Clean and store battery charger. WARNING: Be sure area around battery is well ventilated
while battery is being charged. Gas can be forcefully blown away by using a piece of
cardboard or other non-metallic material as a fan.
