CHARGING IF BATTERY IS OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE:
a) Check polarity of battery posts- For top-mounted battery connectors, the positive post marked POS,
P, +) usually has a larger diameter than the Negative battery post (marked NEG, N, -). For side-
mounted battery connections the Positive terminal is red, the Negative terminal is black.
b) Attach a 24 inch (minimum length) 6 AWG insulated battery cable to the Negative battery post
(marked NEG, N, -).
c) Connect the Positive (RED) battery clamp to the Positive battery connector (marked POS, P, + or red).
d) Stand as far back from battery as possible, and do not face battery when making final connection.
e) Carefully connect the Negative (BLACK) charger clamp to the free end of the battery cable connected
to the negative terminal. Connect the charger's power cord to a grounded 110/120 volt AC power
outlet, and refer to the next section for approximate charging times.
f) If Red Reverse Polarity LED lights, battery clamp connection must be charged (yellow).
g) Check Charge Status indicator: if red charging, if green charging is complete. If yellow is visible then
battery is not connected.
h) When charging is completed, the GREEN Charge Status LED will light. Disconnect cables and clamps
in reverse order from which they were connected.
CHARGE STATUS LED
Not lit - - switch OFF - reverse polarity - no AC
YELLOW (power on) - battery not connected - AC applied
RED- Charging Battery
GREEN - Charging Complete
CHARGING TIMES
To calculate the approximate charging time required to fully charge a battery, it is necessary to determine
percent of battery charge. Batteries less than 10 volts (or 5 volts for a 6 volt battery) may be considered as
discharged. To estimate charging time for a discharged battery, divide the AH rating of the battery by the
charge rate selected. This is the number of hours required to recharge the battery. For example, a 50 AH (12
volt) battery is discharged (10 volts). How long should it be charged at the 6 Amp rate? Divide the 50 AH by
6 AH. The answer is approximately 8 hours. Always round up the charge time by 50% to ensure full charge.
So the answer is approximately 12 hours. In most cases, battery recharge times will vary depending on the
age and condition of the battery. Smaller batteries should be charged at the lower rate (2 Amps) and add an
extra hour to charge time. If more detail is required, refer to Appendix A at the end of this document.
NOTE: Batteries that have a 25% (or less) charge level, are subject to freezing, and should be charged as
soon as possible to prevent freezing in temperatures 0

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
With only minimal maintenance, the King Craft 6/2 Battery Charger will deliver years of dependable service.
Follow these simple steps to maintain the charger in optimum condition:
• After each use, clean the battery charger clamps - be sure to remove any battery fluid that will cause
corrosion of the clamps.
• Clean the outside case of the charger with a soft cloth and, if necessary, mild soap solution.
• Keep the charger cords loosely coiled during storage to prevent damage to the cords. Do not use the
charger if cords or clamps have been damaged in any way - call King Craft Technical Support
