Correct polarity and a good connection will be 
your reward. Attach the 

BCA

 to the proper battery 

posts, clamps or screw terminals, depending on 
type of battery. 

Note

Temperature Compensation Sensor 

Assembly (Part# ABS-248).

  See pages 21 - 24 

for full detailed instructions.

3.

  Plug the unit’s Power cord into a standard 

– grounded 120 Vac electrical outlet. The Battery 

Connected LED Indicator will light 

GREEN

. If it 

does not light 

GREEN

 check the outlet to be 

sure it is functioning. In addition, be sure if outlet 
is controlled by a switch, no one will accidentally 
shut off the power to the outlet. Check for cor-
rect polarity = (no ERROR 

RED

 LED Indicator). If 

ERROR Indicator is lit, reverse the charger’s out

-

put connections to the battery. 

4.

 Charger will automatically start within 30 sec-

onds or less.  The Charge – Float LED Indicator 

will light 

GREEN

. The charger will now begin 

charging by first checking the battery to determine 
its voltage and ability to accept a charge. Should 
the battery not have a normal fully discharged 
voltage (21.0-V minimum) the unit will begin 

charging in the “Soft-Start” mode to determine if 

the battery can be safely charged. If it cannot, the 

Battery Connected – Error LED will flash 

RED

 and 

charging will be stopped. Battery should be care-
fully checked under a load by a qualified person 
before further attempting to charge it.
