16 VOLT LITHIUM BATTERIES
***IMPORTANT***
These instructions are NOT applicable to PowerLite PRO SERIES batteries.
Do not fully drain battery! Irreversible damage will occur.
Batteries that have been fully drained below 12 Volts will NOT
be covered under warranty.
Recommend to disconnect battery from vehicle during any
period of non use.
Do not Turn Over, Bump, Start engine, or draw more than 25
amp load with Charger attached. This will immediately damage output circuit
of charger. (This damage is easier detectable upon inspection and will void warranty on
charger).
Status LED:
There is a Status LED in the top of the battery. This LED will blink Green every 15 seconds indicating the
battery has a safe charge level. A Green LED does NOT mean the battery is fully charged. If the battery
falls below a safe charge level the LED will turn solid Red and an audible warning beep will sound every
30 seconds for the next 24 hour period. If the battery is charged during this period and returned to a safe
level, the LED will turn back to Green. If the battery is not charged during this 24 hour period the LED will
begin to blink Red every 15 seconds and will NOT return to Green even if charged. The battery may
function normal once recharged, but the Red LED will be an indication that at some point the battery was
drained below a safe level and may have lessened its performance or lifespan.
Thoroughly read following page of instructions!
