Operating Instructions

WARNING
Follow operating instructions to reduce
the risk of injury from electrical shock.

Charging Procedure

New batteries reach their full capacity after
approximately five charging and discharging cy-
cles. It is not necessary to completely dis-
charge a battery pack before recharging.
1. Set up charger according to Inspection
and Assembly section.
2. With dry hands, insert plug into appropri-
ate power source. See Figures 1 & 8 for
12V d.c. power port connector. Use with
vehicle power ports. Route cords to pre-
vent tripping or cord damage.
3. When charger is in "ready to charge" mode,
the yellow LED light will blink continuously.
4. With dry hands, fully insert the battery
pack onto the charger (see Figure 10). Do
not force the battery into the charger. The
battery pack will begin charging automat-
ically. The battery pack will become slightly
warm to the touch during charging. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
The LED light on the battery charger will in-
dicate charging condition (Figure 5).

the charger until use. There is no risk of over-
charging the battery. When used with 12V power
from a vehicle, if the vehicle is not run for a
long time or multiple batteries are charged with-
out running the vehicle, the vehicle battery may
