*ONLY available for 6-volt lead-acid batteries, as Wet Cell, Gel Cell, Enhanced Flooded, Mainte-
nance-Free, and Calcium batteries.
Consult the battery manufacturer before using this mode.
**ONLY available for 12-volt lithium-ion batteries, including lithium iron phosphate.
Consult the lithium battery manufacturer before charging and ask for recommended charging
rates and voltages. Lithium-ion batteries are made and constructed in different ways. Some
lithium-ion batteries may be unstable and unsuitable for charging.
3. Connecting to the Battery
The below instructions are for a negative ground system (most common).
If your vehicle is a positive ground system (uncommon), follow the below instructions in re-
verse order:
1) Connect the positive (red) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector with the positive
battery terminal, which is typically marked by "POS, P, +".
2) Connect the negative (black) battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector with the negative
battery terminal, which is typically marked by "NEG, N, -", or with the vehicle chassis.
3) Connect the battery charger's AC power plug into a suitable electrical outlet.
4) Disconnect the battery charger in the reverse sequence, removing the negative fi rst (or
8
positive fi rst for positive ground systems).
*Note:
• DO NOT connect the AC power plug until all other connections are made.
• DO NOT make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin, sheet metal parts.
4. Begin Charging
1 )Verify the voltage and chemistry of the battery.
2) Confi rm if the proper connection has been made between the battery clamps (eyelet ter
minal connectors) with battery terminals, and the AC power plug is plugged into the elec
trical outlet.
3) The charger will begin in Standby mode, with no power provided, indicated by a Blue LED.
4) Press the Mode button twice to toggle to the appropriate charge mode for the voltage and
chemistry of the battery. The mode LED will illuminate the selected charge mode.
5) Press it once to start charging after the selection. The charge LEDs will illuminate when
the charging process is started, depending on the health of the battery.
6) The charger can now remain connected to the battery for the needed charge.
