BATTERY CHARGING
CHARGING A BATTERY INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE
1. Arrange the leads carefully to reduce the risk of damage caused by sharp
edges.
2. Check the polarity of the battery posts.
3. Consult the vehicle manual to confirm if the vehicle has a Negative or
Positive earth.
• For negative earth vehicles, connect the POSITIVE (RED) lead from the
battery charger to the POSITIVE terminal on the battery. Connect the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) lead to the vehicle frame or engine block away from
the battery.
• For positive earth vehicles, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) lead from the
battery charger to the NEGATIVE terminal on the battery. Connect the
POSITIVE (RED) lead to the vehicle frame or engine block away from the
battery.
• Do not connect the lead to ancilliary engine components.
4. Where appropriate we recommend that the non-earthed lead on the
battery is disconnected prior to charging. It is possible that damage may
occur to the vehicle’s electronic equipment.
5. When charging is completed, switch off the charger/starter and unplug it.
Remove the lead from the earth point and then remove the lead from
battery.
CHARGING A BATTERY REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE
1. Make sure that you know the polarity of the battery posts.
2. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) lead to the POSITIVE post on the battery.
3. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) lead at arms length to the NEGATIVE post
on the battery.
4. When you disconnect the charger/starter from the battery, always do it in
the opposite order to the sequence of connection and remove the first
connection at arms length from the battery.
