FOLLOW THESE STEPS WITHOUT HAVING TO OPEN THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE
1)
Connect the end of the 12V Cigarette Lighter Plug to the charger.
2)
Insert the 12V Cigarette Lighter Plug into the vehicle’s 12V outlet.
3)
Route the power cord of the charger through the vehicle’s open window.
4)
Plug the charger power cord into a wall outlet.
5)
If the vehicle’s ignition key has to be on in order for the 12V outlet to supply / receive
power, turn the key, without starting the engine.
Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Identify if you have a negative or positive grounded vehicle. This can be done by
identifying which battery post (NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE) is connected to the chassis.
For a negative grounded vehicle: connect the RED POSITIVE cable clamp first to the
positive post of the battery, then connect the BLACK NEGATIVE cable clamp to the
vehicle’s chassis. Do not connect the black negative cable clamp to metal fuel lines or
anywhere in proximity of the carburettor or the battery itself. Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
For a positive grounded vehicle: connect the BLACK NEGATIVE cable clamp first to the
negative post of the battery, then connect the RED POSITIVE cable clamp to the vehicle’s
chassis. Do not connect the red positive cable clamp to metal fuel lines or anywhere in
proximity of the carburettor or the battery itself. Connect to a heavy gauge metal part of
the frame or engine block.
Connect charger AC supply cord to electric outlet.
When charging is completed, disconnect AC power, remove clamp from vehicle chassis,
and then remove clamp from battery terminal.
Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
Diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Connect the RED POSITIVE cable clamp or ring terminal to the POSITIVE post of battery.
Position yourself as far away from the battery as possible – then connect the BLACK
NEGATIVE charger cable clamp or ring terminal to NEGATIVE post of battery.
Connect charger AC supply cord to electric outlet.
When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure
and break first connection while standing as far away from the battery as possible.
A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board
