1. To permanently attach to a battery, loosen and remove each nut from the bolts at the
battery terminals.
2.
Connect the red positive connector ring to the positive (POS, P, +) battery terminal.
3. Connect the negative connector ring to the negative (NEG, N, -) battery terminal.
4. Replace and tighten the nuts to secure them.
5.
Connect the ring connector cable assembly to the charger. Take care to keep both wires and
plug away from hot and moving parts.
6.
Plug the charger power cord into an AC electrical wall outlet. Make sure to place the charger
on a dry, non-flammable surface.
7. When the charger starts, the GREEN LED will be solid, and the display will show
ANALYZING BATTERY while the charger determines that the battery is properly connected
and the condition of the battery.
8. When the battery is fully charged, the GREEN LED will pulse.
9.
When charging is complete, disconnect the AC cord from the supply mains, remove
the negative connector, and finally the positive connector.
BATTERY CONNECTION INDICATOR
If the charger does not detect a properly connected battery, charging will not start and the digital
display will show one of two messages. If the display shows CONNECT CLAMPS, make sure
the charger is connected to the battery and the connection points are clean and making a good
connection. If the display shows WARNING CLAMPS REVERSED, unplug the charger from the AC
outlet, reverse the connections at the battery, and then plug the charger back in.
BATTERY CHARGING TIMES
CCA = Cold Cranking Amps
SMALL BATTERIES
Motorcycle, garden tractor, etc.
CARS AND
TRUCKS
MARINE/DEEP-CYCLE
Times are based on a 50% discharged battery and may change, depending on age and condition of battery.
AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE
When an Automatic Charge is performed, the charger switches to the Maintain Mode
automatically after the battery is charged. For a battery with a starting voltage under 1 volt, use
a manual charger to pre-charge the battery for five minutes, to get additional voltage into the
battery.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging aborts, the
charger's output is shut off, the GREEN LED will flash, and the display will show CHARGE
ABORTED-BAD BATTERY. Do not continue attempting to charge this battery. Check the
battery and replace, if necessary.
CHARGE COMPLETION AND MAINTAIN MODE
Charge completion is indicated by the pulsing GREEN LED and the digital display showing
FULLY CHARGED-AUTO MAINTAINING. This indicates the charger has switched to the
Maintain Mode of operation. In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by
delivering a small current when necessary. NOTE: If the charger has to provide its maximum
maintain current for a continuous 12 hour period, it will go into Abort Mode (see Aborted
Charge section). This is usually caused by a drain on the battery, or the battery could be bad.
