PREPARING TO CHARGE A BATTERY (6 Volt or 12 Volt) - cont.
4. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level speci ed by the battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas
from cells. Do not over ll. For a battery without cell caps (maintenance free), carefully follow manufacturer's charging instructions.
5. Study all battery manufacturer's speci c precautions, such as removing or not removing caps while charging, and/or
recommended rates of charge.
6. Remove battery completely from boat, airplane or any con ned area before charging.
Note: Beware of gas build-up in enclosed areas.
7. Make sure the initial charging rates does not exceed the battery manufacturer's requirement.
BATTERY MAINTAINER PLACEMENT LOCATION
1. Place the battery maintainer on a clear, dry, stable and level surface.
2. Locate the battery maintainer as far away from the battery as cables permit.
IMPORTANT:
a. NEVER place the battery maintainer directly above the battery being charged, gases from the battery will corrode and
damage the battery maintainer.
b. NEVER allow battery acid to drip onto the battery maintainer when reading speci c gravity or lling battery cells.
c. NEVER operate the battery maintainerin a closed-in area or with restrict ventilation in any way.
d. Marine batteries must be removed and charged on shore.
e. Do not set a battery on top of the battery maintainer.
CLIP CONNECTIONS FOR INSTALLED BATTERY CHARGING
1. Connect the battery maintainer power cable to an AC receptacle.
2. Turn 'OFF' the vehicle ignition and all accessories (e.g., Radio, Lights, Air Conditioning and Cell phones).
3. Set emergency brake and put vehicle with automatic transmission in the 'PARK' position.
5. Determine the polarity of the vehicle battery terminals/posts. The Positive (POS, P, +) battery terminal/post usually is
larger than the Negative (NEG, N, -) terminal/post (if you are unsure consult the vehicle owners manual).
NEGATIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM (MOST VEHICLES)
a. Securely connect the Positive (+) Red clip to the Positive (POS, P,+) terminal/Post of the vehicle battery or the remote Positive (+)
terminal is equipped.
b. Securely connect the Negative (-) Black clip to the vehicle chassis, engine block or a non-moving grounded metal part of
the vehicle as far away from the battery as possible. Do not clamp directly to carburetor, fuel lines, hydraulic lines or
non-grounded sheet-metal body parts.
POSITIVE GROUNDED SYSTEM
a. Securely connect the Negative (-) Black clip to the Negative (NEG, N,-) ungrounded terminal/Post of the vehicle battery.
b. Securely connect the Positive (+) Red clip to the vehicle chassis, engine block or a non-moving grounded metal part of
the vehicle as far away from the battery as possible. Do not clamp directly to carburetor, fuel lines, hydraulic lines or
non-grounded sheet-metal body parts.
IMPORTANT: A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment
CLIP CONNECTIONS FOR UNINSTALLED BATTERY CHARGING
Before use ensure you have identi ed battery voltage (6 Volt or 12 Volt)
1. Connect the battery maintainer power cable to an AC receptacle.
2. Select 6 Volt or 12 Volt charging voltage as identi ed on intended battery to be charged.
3. Check polarity of battery posts. Positive post (marked POS, P, +) usually has a larger diameter than the Negative battery
post (marked NEG, N, -).
4. Attach a 24-inch (minimum length) 6 AWG insulated cable to the Negative battery post (marked NEG, N, -).
5. Connect the Positive (RED) battery clip to the Positive battery post (marked POS, P,+ or Red).
NOTE: Stand as far back from the battery as possible, and do not face battery when making nal connection.
6. Carefully connect the NEGATIVE(BLACK) charger clamp to the free end of the battery cable connected to the negative terminal.
BATTERY MAINTAINER INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Ensure that all installations, operating instructions and safety precautions are understood and carefully
followed by anyone installing or using the battery maintainer. Follow the steps outlined in the "Important Safety
Instructions" section of this manual.
1. If the battery is in good status, the digital display will indicate 60-90% that the battery charging capacity (refer to the
Approximate Charging Times section for battery charging durations).
2. As the battery nears full charge capacity, the unit's output charge rate will automatically drop and "FUL" will show.
3. The battery is fully charged and enters the Stage Three Automatic Float Charging.
AUTOMATIC FLOAT CHARGING
NOTE: Automatic Float Charging is ideal for maintaining a fully charged battery.
1. Keep the 120 Volt AC power and battery connected after the battery is fully charged.
2. The maintainer monitors the battery and tops it o as needed.
ABORTED CHARGE
If charging cannot be completed normally, the unit will abort the procedure. Error message will appear, check the Fault
Codes Chart for troubleshooting. To reset an aborted charge, rst unplug the maintainer from the outlet, chech connection
and fuse, wait a few minutes and plug back again.
DESULFATON
If the battery is left discharged for an extended period, the battery could become sulfated. A sulfated battery will not accept a normal charge.
POWERING 'OFF' AND DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY MAINTAINER
1. When disconnecting the battery maintainer, disconnect the AC power cord, remove clips from vehicle chassis or remote
Negative (NEG,N,-) terminal/post, and then remove the Positive (POS,P,+,RED) clips from the battery.
2. Store the battery maintainer and all accessories.
