PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING

Short-circuit protection

Should you accidentally touch the alligator clips together whilst the mains power is on, the unit will not perform 
charging. Unplug from mains, disconnect and start the process again being careful not to touch the clips 
together.

Charge memory

If power is off on charging, KA Smart Charger can automatically restart charging based on previous power down 
status for battery and charging current.
ATTENTION: Once the clamp of charger is disconnected from the battery, this memory is erased and the 
charging mode will need to be reselected.

1. Preparing the battery

Ensure the battery terminals are clean and free of dirt so a good connection can be made. 

WET / Flooded Lead Acid Batteries

Firstly remove the caps from each cell and check that the level of the liquid is sufficient in each cell. If it is below 
the recommended level, top up with de-ionized or distilled water.
Note: Under no circumstances should tap water be used. The cell caps should not be replaced until charging is 
complete. This allows any gases formed during charging to escape. It is inevitable that some minor escape of 
acid will occur during charging.

AGM / Sealed Batteries 

As AGM batteries are fully sealed there is no need to check fluid levels, just ensure the battery connections are 
clean and the battery is in a suitable condition for charging.

2. Connection

2.1 Connecting to a Battery out of a vehicle. 

Connect the RED Output Lead
(Battery Clip from the charger to the Positive (+) Battery Terminal)
and ensure a good connection is made.

Connect the BLACK Output lead
(Battery Clip from the charger to the Negative (-) Battery Terminal)
and ensure a good connection is made.

Alternatively if connecting via the Chargers Output Anderson style
connector, make sure the external plugs polarity is correct
before connecting.
