charger is designed to operate from a 12-volt negative ground 
vehicle battery system. 

• 

Do not disassemble charger, there are no user serviceable 
parts; take it to an authorized service center when service or 
repair is required.

 Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of 

electric shock, electrocution or fire.

•

OPERATION
Charging Procedure

  1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting battery 

pack. 

  2. Insert the battery pack into the charger. Charge status is displayed 

by the indicator lights(s).

Important Charging Notes

 1. 

To prevent excessive discharge of the vehicle battery, Do not 
charge more than two battery packs without operating the 
vehicle. 

 2. 

Disconnect charger from cigarette lighter socket when not in 
use to prevent vehicle battery from discharging.

 3.  If the battery pack does not charge properly:
  

a. 

 

Ensure the cigarette lighter operates when pushed in the 
socket.

  

b. 

 

Ensure the cigarette lighter operates when the vehicle’s ignition 
switch is in the “Accessory” position.

 4.  Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery 

pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 
75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air 
temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). 
This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery 
pack.

 5.  The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while 

charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a 
problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, 
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment 
such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer.

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light 
red light glowing for 16 hours, then turn itself off. The charger will keep 
the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
