Charge Pro™ Portable Chargers Instructions
Charging A Lead Acid Battery
Observe the instructions and safety information of the vehicle to find out how the
vehicle battery should be charged. Modern vehicles are equipped with sensitive
electronic parts and controls that can be damaged if you do not proceed properly!
A) First make sure your lead acid battery is a 6V or 12V battery. Do not charge
batteries with different operating voltages!
B) Determine the chemistry of your battery. This should be on the battery or
contact the battery manufacturer.
C) Disconnect all loads from the battery. If the battery is installed in a vehicle,
turn off the ignition and any other loads.
D) The red and black DC cable coming out of the charger has a connector at
the end. This connector will connect to the alligator and ring terminal cables
supplied with the charger. Connect the cable needed and make sure the
connection is secure.
E) When the battery cables are connected to the battery, and the charger is
plugged in to the power supply (115 V 60 HZ AC),
all LED’s will illuminate
for 2 seconds.
F) If this is the first time the charger is powered, only the power “ON” LED will
be illuminated. The “Mode” button needs to be pushed to select the battery
voltage and chemistry.
The charger remembers the last setting and will start in that setting again
the next time the charger is used.
G) If the “Error” LED is illuminated, unplug AC connection of the charger from
the electric outlet, check to make sure the connections are secure and the
polarity of the cables to the battery is correct. Plug the charger back into the
electric outlet. If the “Error” LED continues to illuminate there is a problem
with the battery.
H) Now you can select a function using the mode button. See “Operating Modes”
for a description of the individual operating modes.
I) Push the “Mode” button once for 12V, flooded battery. Continue to push the
“Mode” button until you select the correct voltage and chemistry that matches
your battery.
J) There will be a five second delay until the charger starts the charge. This is
to provide time to select the correct voltage and battery chemistry. When the
charge cycle starts, the charge status LED’s 25, 50, 75, 100% will illuminate
letting you know the battery charge level.
K) When the 100% LED is illuminated the charge is complete and the charger
can be disconnected first from the AC power then the DC connection
removed.
L) First remove the clamp from the negative terminal and then from the positive
terminal.
