9. See operating instructions for length of charge information.
Follow these steps when the battery has been removed from a vehicle
WARNING: A spark near the battery may cause an explosion. To reduce risk of a spark near the battery:
1. Check polarity of battery posts. The POSITIVE post (marked POS,P, +) usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE battery post (marked
NEG, N, –).
2. Attach a 24-inch (minimum length) AWG #6 insulated battery cable to the NEGATIVE battery post (marked NEG, N, –).
3. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) battery clamp to the POSITIVE battery post (marked POS, P, + or red).
4. Stand as far back from the battery as possible, and do not face battery when making final connection.
5. Carefully connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clamp to the free end of the battery cable connected to the NEGATIVE terminal.
6. When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break first connection while as far away from
battery as practical.
Note:
A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment specifically designed for marine use. This unit is
NOT designed for such use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE: Follow these instructions and those published by the manufacturer
of any engine you intend to use with this battery charger. Review cautionary markings on the battery charger and engine.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing your new battery charger. Read this Instruction Manual and follow the instructions carefully before
using your new battery charger.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Charging the Battery
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Always disconnect the ac plug from the AC outlet first before disconnecting the charger from the battery to be charged.
• Ensure that all installation, operating instructions and safety precautions are understood and always carefully followed by the
steps outlined in the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION" section at the front of this manual.
1. Plug the battery charger' s power cord into an AC outlet.
2. The charger's battery clamps are colour-coded. Red is positive; black is negative. Connect the battery clamps correctly to the corresponding
connectors on the battery posts following the steps outlined in the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION" section at the front of this manual.
Notes: If the clamps are correctly connected with regard to polarity and the unit is properly connected to the AC outlet, the LCD screen will
display the following:
If the clamps are INCORRECTLY connected with regard to polarity, the LCD screen will display the following (the warning icon in the triangle
and the arrows pointing to the "+" and "–" will flash) and a warning will sound until the clamps are disconnected:
6
Unplug the charger; then remove the clamps. Reconnect the clamps properly.
3. When the unit is properly connected, press the battery charge button on the control panel on the front of the unit. The LCD screen will display
the following:
The digital display shows the output current that is charging the battery. The bars on the battery icon will change from empty to solid
(bottom to top) repeatedly and the arrow logos pointing to the "+" and "–" flash.
Notes: The " " icon will appear at the top if the surrounding ambient temperature is higher than approximate 40°C. The " " icon will
appear at the top if the surrounding ambient temperature is lower than 0°C. This is not a fault code, but indicates that the unit' s temperature
compensation feature is operating.
IMPORTANT: If the battery is overheated, the LCD screen will display the following flashing icons:
Disconnect the charger and allow the charger to cool for several minutes. Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the unit before
attempting to charge again.
4. BC1509CA: When the battery is completely charged, the unit automatically goes into float charge mode and the LCD screen displays the
following:
The digital display shows "FLO" to indicate that the unit is in float charge mode. The battery fully charged icon will display on the LCD screen
and the arrows pointing to the "+" and "-" will flash. In this mode, the unit monitors the battery voltage and charges as necessary to assure
the battery maintains full capacity. The unit remains in float charge mode as long as the charger is connected to the battery and plugged into
a functioning AC outlet.
BC2509CA and BC4009CA: When the charging is complete, the arrow and clamp icons and digital display stop displaying. The battery fully
charged icon will display on the LCD screen:
When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove clamp from battery terminal.
Checking the Battery Voltage
1. Set up the battery charger and connect to the battery following steps 1 through 5 in the "Charging the Battery" section.
2. Press the battery voltage button. The LCD screen will display the following:
The digital display shows the current voltage of the connected battery.
To check the battery voltage while in charging mode, press the battery voltage button and the LCD screen will display the following:
When disconnecting charger, disconnect AC cord, remove clamp from vehicle chassis, and then remove clamp from battery terminal.
Reconditioning the Battery
Periodic reconditioning is recommended to maintain a battery's optimum performance. Battery recondition sends a series of electrical pulses to
break up the crystalline form of lead sulfate and turn these chemicals into useful battery electrolytes. The process will stop automatically after 24
hours. To stop the process sooner, press the battery recondition button a second time. More than 24 hours may be needed to restore performance
on some batteries. If so, repeat the process.
1. Set up the battery charger and connect to the battery following steps 1 through 5 in the "Charging the Battery" section.
