Battery Charger Cable Assembly Types
Included with the Rescue® Battery Charger are two output options for connecting the
charger to a battery. Either cable assembly can be connected to the charger in seconds
with the quick-connection feature on the cable assemblies.
1. Battery Clamp cable assembly:
Used for a wide variety of battery terminals,
recommended for batteries that are easily
accessible
IMPORTANT: CONNECT AND DISCONNECT THE CHARGER OUTPUT ONLY AFTER REMOVING THE
AC PLUG FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET. NEVER ALLOW THE BATTERY CLAMPS TO TOUCH EACH
OTHER WHEN THE BATTERY CHARGER IS ENERGIZED.
• Identify the polarity of the battery posts. The positive post will be marked with a "P",
"+", "POS", or the color RED. The negative post will be marked with an "N", "-", "NEG",
or the color BLACK
• The charger's output cables have color-coded battery clamps, Red for Positive (+) and
Black for Negative (-)
• Connect the Black clamp (-) to the corresponding Negative terminal first, then connect
the Red clamp (+) to the corresponding Positive terminal
• Connect the charger to a grounded AC electrical outlet. The "power" light will illuminate.
The battery charger is activated
• If the charging clamps are connected in reverse, the power light will illuminate but the
"charging" or "full" lights will not activate. This is indication of a reverse polarity connec-
tion. Unplug the charger from the AC electrical outlet and check the connections
2. Ring Terminal cable assembly:
The ring terminals permanently attach to the
battery providing easy access to quickly charge
your battery. This application is appropriate for
motorcycles, lawn tractors, ATV's, snowmobiles,
and other vehicles that are stored or have hard to
access battery locations
• To permanently attach the ring terminals to a battery, loosen and remove each nut from
the bolts at the battery terminals
• Connect the RED Positive ring terminal to the Positive battery terminal
• Connect the BLACK Negative ring terminal to the Negative battery terminal
• Replace and tighten the nuts to secure each ring terminal in place

2. Ring Terminal cable assembly continued:
• Take care to keep both wires and cable assembly away from metal and the engine hood
to avoid pinching or crushing the cable assembly
• Plug the Ring Terminal cable assembly into the mating connector of the charger
• Connect the charger to a grounded AC electrical outlet. The LED "power" light will illumi-
nate. The battery charger is activated
• If the charging clamps are connected in reverse, the power light will illuminate but the
"charging" or "full" lights will not activate. This is indication of a reverse polarity connec-
tion. Unplug the charger from the AC electrical outlet and check the connections
• When the charging is complete:
• Unplug the charger from the AC electrical outlet
• Disconnect the ring terminal cable assembly from the charger and take care to place
the protected cap over the open quick-connection of the ring terminal cable assembly
Preparing to Charge
• Reference the vehicle's owner's manual to determine voltage of your battery and make
sure that the output voltage of the charger is the correct voltage for your battery
• Read, understand, and follow all instructions for the charger, battery, vehicle and any
equipment used near the battery and charger. Study all of the battery manufacturer's
specific precautions while charging and recommended rates of charge
• Make sure the initial charge rate is not over battery manufacturer's suggestion
• Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes,
nose or mouth
• If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, or to clean terminals, always
remove the grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle
are turned off to prevent arcing
• If applicable, add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by
battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a
battery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturers recharging instructions
• Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged
• When attaching the battery clamps to the battery post, twist and rock back and forth
several times to ensure a good connection. This will keep the clamps from slipping off
the terminals and helps to reduce the risk of sparking
