IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR WORKING IN THE PROXIMITY OF A BATTERY
1) Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation. Use in well-ventilated area.
2) Consider having someone close enough or within the range of your voice to come to
your aid when you work near a battery.
3) Do NOT smoke, strike a match, or cause a spark in Proximity of battery or engine.
Avoid explosive gas, flames and sparks.
4) Remove all personal jewelry, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches while
working with a vehicle battery. These items may produce a short-circuit that could cause
severe burns.
5) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark
or short-circuit a battery or other electrical hardware which may cause an explosion or fire.
6) Wear complete eye protection, hand and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near a battery.
7) Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions such as removing or not removing
cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
8) Clean battery terminals before connected with the charger. Be careful to keep corrosion
from coming in contact with eyes.
9) When it is necessary to remove a battery from vehicle to charge, always remove
grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off in
order to prevent an arc.
10) It is NOT intended to supply power to an extra-low-voltage electrical system or to
charge dry-cell batteries. Charging dry-cell batteries may burst and cause injury to persons
and property.
11) NEVER charge a frozen, damaged, leaking or non-rechargeable battery.
12) If battery electrolyte contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
If electrolyte enters eye, immediately flood eye with running clean cold water for at least
15 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR USING THE CHARGER
1) Do NOT place the charger in the engine compartment or near moving parts or near the
battery; place as far away from them as DC cable permits. NEVER place a charger directly

above a battery being charged; gases or fluids from battery will corrode and damage
charger.
2) Do NOT cover the charger while charging.
3) Do NOT expose to rain or wet conditions.
4) Connect and disconnect DC output only after setting AC cord from electric outlet.
5) Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in a risk
of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
6) Do not overcharge batteries by selecting the wrong charge mode.
7) To reduce the risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the
cord when disconnecting charger.
8) To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.
9) Operate with caution if the charger has received direct hit of force or been dropped.
Have it checked and repaired if damaged.
10) Any repair must be carried out by the manufacturer or an authorized repair agent in
order to avoid danger.
ABOUT AQ15000
1) The AQ15000 is designed for charging all types of 12V lead-acid ,24V lead-acid and
12V lithium-ion batteries, including WET (Flooded), GEL, MF (Maintenance-Free), EFB
(Enhanced Flooded Battery), AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat),AGM+ (Absorbed Glass Mat+),
and LIB (Lithium Ion) batteries.
2) Built-in intelligent microprocessor makes charging faster, easier and safer.
3) This charger has safety features, including spark proof, protection for reverse polarity,
short circuit, overcurrent, overcharge and overheat.
4) It has auto-memory, which returns to last selected mode when restarted (except Standby
Mode).
5) When battery level indicator turns to 100% solid Green LED, it will automatically
switches from full charge to maintenance status to maintain batteries during prolonged
periods of storage without overcharging or damaging the battery.
6) The AQ15000 has four external holes for mounting. Mount the charger in a desired
location with equipped self-drill screws. It is important to keep in mind the distance to the

CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY
1) Identify polarity of battery posts. The positive battery terminal is typically marked by
these letters or symbol (POS,P,+). The negative battery terminal is typically marked by
these letters or symbol (NEG,N,-).
2) Do not make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin metal parts.
3) Identify if you have a negative or positive grounded vehicle. This can be done by
identifying which battery post (NEG or POS) is connected to the chassis.
4) For a negative grounded vehicle (most common): connect the RED POSITIVE clamp
first to the positive battery terminal, then connect the BLACK NEGATIV clamp to the
negative battery terminal or vehicle chassis.
5) For a positive grounded vehicle (very uncommon): connect the BLACK NEGATIV
clamp first to the negative battery terminal, then connect the RED POSITIVE clamp to the
positive battery terminal or vehicle chassis.
6) When disconnecting, disconnect in the reverse sequence, removing the negative first (or
positive first for positive ground systems).

7) Follow these steps when using 12V accessory plug: keep the vehicle hood open.
Connect the end of the 12V accessory plug to the charger; insert the 12V accessory plug
into the vehicle’s 12V outlet. If the vehicle’s ignition key has to be on in order for the 12V
outlet to supply / receive power, turn the key, without starting the engine.
8) A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
