below.
Connecting to battery (in vehicle)
WARNING: This battery charger is not suitable for assisting engine cranking. Do not turn on the
ignition or attempt to start the vehicle with this battery charger connected.
• This charger is suitable for use on 12V/24V, negative earth, vehicle electrical systems only, when
charging with the battery fitted in the vehicle
• Marine batteries must ALWAYS be moved to dry land for charging. This charger is not designed

6
• If appropriate, check battery fluid level before charging. Top up with distilled water if required.
Check battery manufacturer's guidance as to whether cell caps should be removed for charging
• Ensure that engine is stopped, and that all electrical accessories (lights, radio etc) are switched
off. Keep vehicle bonnet, boot or access panels open during battery charging
• Locate battery and identify battery terminals. The positive terminal is usually marked with a '+'
symbol, the negative terminal is usually marked with a '-' symbol. If you are unsure of which
terminal is which, seek professional assistance
• Refer to vehicle manufacturer's handbook to determine whether terminals should be
disconnected for charging. Follow manufacturer's guidance
1. If the battery terminals are corroded, or dirty, clean them with a suitable wire brush
2. Attach Positive Clamp (Red) (11) to positive battery terminal
3. Attach Negative Clamp (Black) (10) to a clean part of the vehicle chassis, or other sturdy metal
part. Do not connect the clamp to any part of the vehicle's fuel system.
Note: Do not connect the Negative Clamp to the negative battery terminal. This helps prevent the
risk of a spark at the battery terminal igniting flammable gas.
4. Check that clamps are securely connected, and that they will not loosen during charging process
5. Check the Voltage Switch (4) is set correctly and the Charge Rate Switch (6) is set to 'MIN' then
connect to the mains supply to commence charging

Operation
Charging battery
WARNING: Only use the 'BOOST' position of the Charge Rate Switch (6) for a short amount of time.
Do not leave the battery unattended while in 'BOOST' charging mode.
WARNING: Never charge a battery where the water level is low. These will produce a higher level of
explosive/flammable gas and damage the battery.
IMPORTANT: This charger is not suitable for charging AGM, gel, VRLA (valve-regulated lead acid) or
maintenance-free type batteries. It is suitable for wet cell lead acid batteries only.
IMPORTANT: This is a single-stage manual charger. It has no automatic functionality and does not
switch off charging when the battery is fully charged.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the battery is in a well-ventilated area before commencing charging to prevent
the build up of flammable gases.
