CIRCUIT BREAKER

This battery charger is equipped with a
self-resetting circuit breaker. This device
protects the charger from temporary
overloads. In the event of an overload,
the circuit breaker will trip open, and
after a short cooling off period, will reset
automatically. This process is known as
cycling and can be recognized by an
audible clicking sound.
NOTE: The clicking sound is normal. Wait
until the charger automatically resets itself.

12. CALCULATING CHARGE TIME

Use the following table to more accurately
determine the time it will take to bring a
battery to full charge. First, identify where
your battery fits into the chart.
CCA = Cold Cranking Amps
RC = Reserve Capacity
Ah = Amp Hour
NR = Not Recommended

13. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

A minimal amount of care can keep your
battery charger working properly for years.
• Clean the clamps each time you are
finished charging. Wipe off any battery
fluid that may have come in contact with
the clamps to prevent corrosion.
• Occasionally cleaning the case of the
charger with a soft cloth will keep the
finish shiny and help prevent corrosion.

200-315 CCA
315-550 CCA
550-1000 CCA
CAUTION: Persistent clicking (more than
30 minutes) may indicate a reversed
connection or shorted battery cells.
MANUAL CHARGING
A manual charger will continue to charge
and will not shut off. You must keep a
visual check on the ammeter to determine
when the battery is charged. Be sure to
monitor the charging process and stop it
when the battery is charged. Not doing
so may cause damage to your battery
or result in other property damage or
personal injury.
Find your battery's rating on the chart
below, and note the charge time given
for each charger setting. The times given
are for batteries with a 50% charge prior
to recharging. Add more time for severely
discharged batteries.

• Coil the input and output cords neatly
when storing the charger. This will help
prevent accidental damage to the cords
and charger.
• Store the charger unplugged from the AC
power outlet, in an upright position.
• Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not
store the clamps on the handle, clipped
together, on or around metal, or clipped
to the cables.
