PREPARING TO CHARGE
If it is necessary to remove the battery or batteries to charge, always remove grounded terminal
from battery first. Make sure all accessories are off, so as not to cause battery arcing.
Be sure the area around any battery is well ventilated while batteries are being charged. “Gas
fumes” may be present during charging and can be forcefully blown away by using a piece of
cardboard or other nonmetallic material as a fan. Proper ventilation is always recommended in
the charging area.
Clean all of the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with
eyes.
Add distilled water in each cell (wet cell batteries) until battery acid reaches level specified by
battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery
without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
Study all battery manufacturers’ specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps
while charging and recommended rates of charge.
Extension cords should be industrial grade/heavy duty UL approved and grounded. Check
extension cord before use for damage, bent prongs and cuts. Replace if damaged.
Always make your extension cord connection on the charger side first. After connecting the
extension cord to the charger, proceed to plug the extension cord into a 120 VAC GFCI protected
(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
Always remove the extension cord from the 120 VAC outlet first when charging is completed
followed by unplugging the charger.
PRODUCT SUMMARY
General Operation:
Use the following guidelines in this manual to install your fully automatic PCS battery charging
system.
Assure that the area around your charger and batteries is properly ventilated. Connect your
extension cord with no A/C power present to the battery charger and proceed to plug your
extension cord in at a nearby 120 VAC GFCI protected (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet.
Once you plug in your PCS battery charging system, your batteries will be simultaneously and
independently charged to 100%. Unlike systems that utilize one large charger to attempt to
charge multiple batteries, your system utilizes a totally independent battery charger for each
battery. Each charging bank will remain in a float stage once the battery is charged and then
monitor and/or maintain the battery indefinitely.
We recommend that you leave your system plugged in to reduce sulfation on the lead plates of
the batteries and to allow your PCS charging system to keep your batteries fully maintained and
ready to perform at their best. Your Xtreme Series system also utilizes specially designed
circuitry to enable independent charging current to flow to additional batteries. This system is
enabled and operates automatically whenever the engine starting battery is being charged and
maintained by the engine driven charging system.
Independent Charging Bank Indications
When your battery charging system is activated, each bank provides charging information utilizing
five red Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicators and one green Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator.
These indications occur only when the charger is being powered by AC.
