Do not overfill. Clean battery terminals.3. Check the battery manufacturer’s 4. instructions on whether or not to have the cell caps on when charging. If not stated, leave the cell caps on. CHARGING BATTERIES Caution: Do not overcharge maintenance- free batteries. Place the Battery Charger and 1. battery in a well-ventilated area. Determine the voltage of the battery 2. from the battery labels. Push the Select Setting switch to the 3. desired battery voltage and mode. If charging a battery while in a 4. vehicle, leave the hood open and do not leave the charger unattended. Separate the charger and battery as much as possible. With the Battery Charger unplugged, 5. connect the positive (red) Cable Clamp (2) to the positive terminal of the battery. If charging a battery mounted in a vehicle, first remove the vehicle’s red cable from the battery; otherwise damage may occur to the vehicle’s electrical system. If in doubt, refer to the vehicle’s service manual. Connect the negative (black) Cable 6. Clamp (2) to the negative terminal of the battery. Plug the Power Cord (3) into the 7. electrical outlet. Note: If the Red Reverse Connection LED is lit, the cables are connected to the wrong battery terminals. If this happens, immediately unplug the charger and switch the connections. For a quick charge assist to enable 8. starting the engine, charge for 5 to 10 minutes. WARNING! Do not leave a battery unattended while charging. For a full charge, leave the Battery 9. Charger running. See below for a description of the charge modes. 12 V / 10 A or 12 V / 2 A mode: a. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charger will automatically go to standby and the green LED will remain lit. 6 V / 10 A mode: b. The Battery Charger will supply current to the battery at a constant rate. To prevent damage to the battery, it must be promptly disconnected when charging is complete. Note: Do not leave Battery Charger on for long duration without checking the distilled water level of the battery; do not allow distilled water to boil off. REV 09g; 09h Disconnect charger and unplug the 10. Power Cord (3) from the electrical outlet. Disconnect the Cable Clamps from 11. the battery. Ammeter Readings The ammeter shows how much charging current is drawn from the charger (to the battery). When a dead or low battery is charged the charger’s ammeter will register at the high end. As the battery charges, the reading will move down toward the low end, resting on zero, when the battery is fully charged. When using the battery in engine starting mode (discussed further down this page) the needle on the ammeter will peg toward the high end of the ammeter. Do not depend on reading the ammeter to approximate how long charging will take. Even at full charge the ammeter will still be providing as much as 50 percent of the charger’s output rating. It’s best to monitor the battery’s charge. Sometimes, certain conditions such as a cold battery, a sulfated battery, or a deeply discharged Lead Calcium battery (on many newer cars) may cause the ammeter to read near a full charge, when the charging process is only beginning. Note: Cold batteries (at or below 32° Fahrenheit) begin charging at a low rate and then increase as the battery warms. When the battery charges up, the rate will decrease at a normal rate. Do not charge a frozen battery. SHORTED BATTERIES will read on the ammeter as a high end peg at the beginning of the charging process. If after 5-10 minutes the needle does not move off of the high end, the battery probably has a short circuit. Unplug the charger and discontinue use. Have the battery checked by a qualified technician. Engine Starting Note: This charger’s high-current output can help start vehicles with weak batteries. Some newer vehicles with onboard computers may be damaged from this process. Thoroughly read the vehicle owner’s manual before using this procedure. Connect the charger to the battery 1. as discussed on pages 7 and 8, but leave the battery cables attached. Set the charger to charge the battery 2. for 5-10 minutes according to the appropriate charge rate for the size of the battery as explained on the previous 2 pages. Set the select function switch to 3. Start and the select switch to 55A. (See FIGURE 1 on page 6.) Try to start the vehicle. If it doesn’t 4. start in 12 seconds, stop and allow the charger to rest for 4 minutes. After resting, it may be beneficial to charge the battery as explained in step 2 before attempting Repeat this process until successful. Note: If the engine continues to spin but will not start after several tries, than you may have another problem unrelated to charging. Stop attempting to start/charge the battery until the problem is found and corrected. Continued engine cranking may damage the vehicle’s starter. REV 09b Maintenance WARNING: Unplug the Charger from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. Before each use, inspect the general ...
