CHARGING INSTRUCTIONSSTEP 1 – CHECK THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Priortochargingthebattery,removetheventcapsandchecktheelectrolytelevel.(Notrequiredonsealed&maintenancefreebatteries).Theelectrolyteshouldbe6mm(1/4”)abovethebattery’splates.
Iflow,topuptheelectrolytewithdistilledwatertothecorrectlevelandrefittheventcaps.
STEP 2A – CONNECTION OUT OF VEHICLE ConnecttheREDlead(batteryclip)fromthechargertothePositive(+)batterypost.
ConnecttheBLACKlead(batteryclip)fromthechargertotheNegative(-)batterypost.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSQ.HowdoIknowifthebatteryisfullycharged?A.TheChargeMeter’sneedlewilldecreasetowardstheleft.Afullychargedbatteryis
indicatedbyaverylowreading.RefertoSTEP6ofthecharginginstructionsforanillustrationoftheChargeMeter.
AlternativelyuseaBatteryHydrometer(ProjectaPartNo.BH100).Areadingof1.250 or more in each cell indicates a fully charged battery.
Q.WhydoestheChargeMeterindicateafullychargedbatterystraightaway?A.TherearefourpossiblereasonswhytheChargeMetermayindicateafullycharged
batterystraightaway.
1. Thebatteryisfullycharged.
2. Thebatteryhastakenasurfacecharge.
3. Thebatteryhasafaultycell.
4. TheBATTERYVOLTAGEsettingonthechargerissetlowerthanthebatteryvoltage.
Q.WhatisSurfaceCharge?A.Batteriesunusedorleftflatforsometimebuilduparesistancetobeingrecharged.
