working condition.
DO NOT USE THIS CHARGER IF:
The DC output connector, (if equipped) is loose or does not make good contact; Is cracked or
broken; The leads are cut or have exposed wires; The DC output leads or connector feel hot when
used.

NORMAL OPERATION
1.) When connecting charge leads directly to the battery, apply grease to the terminals to inhibit
corrosion.
2.) Plug the charger into AC power having the same ratings as that of the charger.
3). The LED on the charger will light, indicating charge current is flowing.
4). The OBAE chargers are equipped with a electronic timer. At the battery gassing threshold,
(2.3 volts per cell) the timer will activate and run for three hours. During this period, the
batteries are in a gassing or equalizing mode. (2.5 - 2.6 volts per cell max.) After three
hours the charger will drop the batteries into a low float mode, indicated by a blinking LED.
(2.26 volts per cell) Current in the float mode is less than 1 amp.
The charger may be left on indefinitely, but water level should be checked periodically on
wet batteries.
5). To discontinue charging, unplug the AC power cord. Plugging the AC power back in will
cause the charger to repeat the cycle.
WARNING: Do not disconnect the DC output leads or unplug the connector from the
batteries when the charger is on. The resulting arcing could cause the
batteries to explode. If the charger must be stopped unplug the AC power.
WARNING: Failure to unplug AC power before moving or driving equipment will result
in damage to cords, plugs and receptacles.
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
CAUTION: DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE CHARGER. Incorrect assembly may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire. Contact factory.
DANGER: To reduce the risk of electric shock, always disconnect both the AC power
supply cord and the output leads or connector before attempting any
maintenance cleaning.
