If it is necessary to remove the battery to charge, always remove grounded terminal from
battery first. Make sure all accessories are off, so as not to cause an arc.
Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while batteries are being charged. Gas fumes
can be forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other nonmetallic material, as a
fan.
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
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 manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
Study all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell
caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
Extension cords should be industrial grade/heavy duty U.L. approved and grounded. Check
extension cord before use for damage, bent prongs and cuts. Replace if damaged.
Always make your extension cord connection on the charger side first. After connecting the
extension cord to the charger, then proceed to plug the extension cord to a nearby 120VAC
GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
Always remove the extension cord from the 120VAC outlet first when charging is completed
followed by unplugging the charger.
PRODUCT SUMMARY
General Operation:
Use the following guidelines in this manual to install your fully automatic Charging Systems
International battery charging system.
Assure that your charger and batteries are properly vented. Connect your extension cord with
no AC Power present to the battery charger and proceed to plug your extension cord in at a
nearby 120VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
Once you plug in your Charging Systems International battery charging system, your batteries
will be simultaneously and independently charged to 100%. Unlike systems that utilize one large
charger to attempt to charge multiple batteries, your system utilizes a totally independent battery
charger for each battery. Each charging bank will turn itself completely off once the battery is
charged and then monitor and maintain the battery indefinitely.
We recommend that you leave your system plugged in to reduce sulfate build-up and to allow
your Charging Systems International charging system to keep your batteries fully maintained
and ready to perform at their best.Your Xtreme Series system also utilizes specially designed
circuitry to enable independent charging current to flow to additional batteries. This system is
enabled and operates automatically whenever the engine starting battery is being charged
and maintained by the engine driven charging system.
Independent Charging Bank Indications
When your battery charging system is activated , each bank provides charging information
utilizing five red LED indicators and one green LED indicator. These indications occur only
when the charger is being powered by AC.
The five red LEDs enable you to track the progress of the charge cycle on each battery as the
voltage rises. Indications are as follows:
