electrician. Improper connection may result in an
electric shock.
The following symbols are marked on
the appliance:
This unit is double insulated; therefore
no earth wire is required.
Warning! To reduce the risk of injury,

•In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions
below.
– Warning! Battery fluid is a diluted sulphuric acid
and may cause personal injury or damage to
property. In case of skin contact, immediately rinse
with water. If redness, pain or irritation occurs seek
medical attention. In case of eye contact, rinse
immediately with clean water and seek immediate
medical attention.
•When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions
given in the section “Protecting the environment”.
•Add distilled water in each cell until the battery
acid reaches the level specified by the battery
manufacturer. This helps to purge excess gas from
the cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without
cell caps (maintenance free), carefully follow the
manufacturer’s charging instructions.
•Study all the battery manufacturer’s specific
precautions, such as removing or not removing cell
caps while charging, and the recommended charging
rates.
•Make sure that the initial charging rate does not
exceed the battery manufacturer’s requirement.
• Warning! Risk of explosive gas mixtures. Working
in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous.
Batteries generate explosive gases during normal
battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost
importance that each time, before using your
battery charger, you read this manual and follow the
instructions exactly.
•Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
Black & Decker may result in a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
•An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock,
and will void the warranty.
Dc accessory plug safety
• Warning! NEVER connect this unit to a positive
grounded vehicle by the dc accessory plug.
•Make sure that the vehicle’s accessory socket is
clean and free of debris before connecting the unit.
• Warning – risk of fire! If the vehicle accessory
socket fuse opens (blows) when plugging in this
battery charger, do not use this battery charger with
this vehicle accessory socket.
–Do not repeatedly replace the fuse.
–Do not replace the vehicle accessory socket fuse
with one of a higher amperage rating.
–Never attempt to patch the fuse with tin foil or wire.
Any of these actions may cause serious
electrical damage and/or a fire.
Personal safety
Wear complete eye protection and suitable clothing to
give protection from contact with battery fluid.
Avoid touching the eyes while working with a battery.
Acid, acid particles or corrosion may get into the eyes.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces and watches when working with a lead-acid
battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit
current high enough to cause a severe burn.
Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a
metal object onto the battery. This might cause sparks
or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part,
which can cause an explosion.

surface.
2. Make sure the unit is disconnected from both
Mains socket and the battery.
3. Use 8/32 inches (6.35mm) wood screw to mount
the unit through the mounting hole.
4. Do not over tighten the screw, it will damage the
housing.
Warning! Do not put the screw through the plastic
housing as this will permanently damage the unit and
cause a potential electrical hazard.
PREPARATION BEFORE CHARGING
The appliance must only be connected to a 6V or
12V lead-acid battery. Before charging, confirm
that the voltage of the battery is eitther 6V or 12V
by referring to the label on the battery or from the
information available relating to its application
e.g. car user manual.
Do not use the appliance for charging dry-cell batteries
that are commonly used with home appliances. These
batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and
damage to property.
Warning! Explosive gas may be vented from lead
acid batteries when charging. The battery must be
placed in a well-ventilated area and you must remove
any sources of ignition when conducting charging
procedures.
•Never place the battery charger directly above the
battery; gases from the battery will corrode and
damage the battery charger.
•Never allow battery acid to drip on the battery
charger.
•Position the battery charger as far away from the
battery as the leads will allow. The battery charger
contains switches that may create a spark.
•Do not set a battery on top of the charger.
•Explosive gases may collect near the ground. Locate
the battery charger as high as possible above ground
level.
•Do not use power tools in the charging area.
•Do not smoke or have a naked flame in the charging
area.
•Follow the instructions for connecting and
disconnecting the battery charger leads or battery
terminals.
Warning! A marine (boat) battery must be removed
and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires
equipment specially designed for marine use. This
appliance is NOT designed for such use.
Vehicles may have electrical and electronic systems
(e.g. engine management systems, mobile phones)
that may be damaged if subjected to high starting
voltages and voltage peaks. Before connecting the
appliance to the vehicle, read the vehicle’s owner’s
manual to confirm that external charging is allowed.
•Follow these instructions and those published by the
battery manufacturer and vehicle manufacturer.
•Only connect and disconnect the dc output clamps
or ring terminals after removing the supply cord
from the electric socket. Never allow clamps to touch
each other.
•Check the polarity of the vehicle battery terminals
before connecting the appliance. Always disconnect
the negative (black) cable first: followed by the
positive (red) cable.
When charging a battery installed in the circuit follow
the manufacturers instructions for accessing the
battery and the following:
•Do not charge the battery while the engine is
operating.
•Be aware that engine components e.g. the coolant
fan may start automatically. Keep hands and body
away from engine components and position the
battery charger and cables to prevent contact.
•Make sure that the battery charger and the cables
are located to prevent damage from closure of doors
and engine compartment covers.
•Make sure that the connections can be made without
touching the metal body or components adjacent to
the battery.
•When using this appliance in proximity to the
vehicle’s battery and engine, stand the appliance on
a flat, stable surface and be sure to keep all clamps,
cords, clothing and body parts away from moving
parts of the vehicle.
•If it is necessary to remove the battery from the
vehicle to charge or to clean the terminals, make
sure that all accessories in the vehicle are switched
off, so as not to cause a spark.
•To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the
appliance from any power source before attempting
maintenance or cleaning.
USE
When all the preparations for charging and personal
safety have been completed, proceed as follows:
•For most automotive and similar applications the
battery charger may be connected to the battery
while it is connected to the dc circuit. Follow the
instructions given in “Charging a battery installed in
the circuit”.
•If the battery must be disconnected from the circuit
before charging, follow the instructions given in
“Charging a battery disconnected from the circuit”.
Warning! A marine (boat) battery must be removed
and charged on shore. To charge it on-board requires

Charging a battery installed in the
circuit
Incorrect connection, battery short circuit, location of
battery and location of the battery charger may create
a hazard. Make sure that adequate preparation has
been made before proceeding.
Warning! If the battery posts cannot be accessed
or the battery charger clamps or ring terminals will
contact the bodywork or components adjacent to the
battery, the battery must be removed before charging.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to remove the
battery.
•Check the polarity of the battery posts. A positive
(POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter
than the negative (NEG, N, –) battery post.
•Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to remove any
insulating covers from the battery posts.
•Connect the positive (red) clamp or ring terminal
from the battery charger to the positive (POS, P, +)
post of the battery.
•Connect the negative (black) clamp or ring terminal
from the battery charger to the negative (NEG, N, –)
post of the battery or to the chassis.
