CHARGING BATTERY OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE
1. Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger
diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
2. Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG)
insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –)
battery post.
3. Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE
(POS, P, +) post of battery.
LCD SCREEN SYMBOL IDENTIFICATION
1. Follow directions on page 3 to connect charger to
battery, then plug the power cord into a properly
grounded outlet.
2. If you see the reverse symbol, make sure the
battery is connected in the proper polarity.
3. If 0.0V and Clamp symbol are displayed, check
whether the battery terminal clips have a reliable
connection.
4. When a good connection has been made, the LCD
screen backlight will be green and it will display the
battery capacity and voltage for three seconds.
5. After the battery voltage stops flashing and the
backlight turns red, the battery level symbol will
flash, indicating the charger is working properly.
6. If the battery voltage is lower than 10.5V (12V
battery) or 5.2V (6V battery), the voltage will
flash on the display and the backlight will turn
red, indicating that the charger will automatically
4. Position yourself and free end of cable as far away
from battery as possible – then connect NEGATIVE
(BLACK) charger clip to free end of cable.
5. Do not face battery when making final connection.
6. When disconnecting charger, always do so in
reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break
first connection while as far away from battery as
practical.
7. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and
charged on shore. To charge it on board requires
equipment specially designed for marine use.
attempt to repair the battery for 1 hour. After repair, if
the voltage is greater than or equal to 10.5V/5.2V, the
charger will automatically continue to its normal
charging function. If the battery voltage is still less than
10.5V/5.2V, the repair failed - the Bad Battery Symbol
will show on the display and the charger will stop
charging.
7. The charger will automatically determine whether
it is charging a 12V or 6V battery. Press the MODE
button to switch through the available 12V modes:
12V STD (Standard), 12V AGM, 12V STD + Snowflake
(Winter Mode for Standard Batteries), 12V AGM +
Snowflake (Winter Mode for AGM Batteries).
Note: If you do not press the Mode key, the charger
will operate according to the last selected settings.
Note: Use the 6V STD or 12V STD mode to charge
gel cell batteries. Make sure gel cell batteries are at
room temperature before charging.
Note: The charger automatically selects the appropriate
charge current based on battery capacity and power.
8. When the battery is fully charged, the battery symbol
will fully display, and the backlight will turn green for
1 minute. The charger will then automatically enter
maintenance mode.
