an eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.
e. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
f. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit
battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
g. 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-circuited current
high enough to weld a ring, causing a severe burn.
h. It is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system or to charge dry-cell
batteries. Charging dry-cell batteries may cause them to burst and cause injury to persons
and/or damage to property.
I. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
PREPARING TO CHARGE
a. If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge it, always remove grounded
terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are turned off to prevent
arcing.
b. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged, Explosive
gases can be emitted from battery, fan away by using a piece of cardboard or other
nonmetallic material as a fan.
c. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.

d. If battery is not sealed add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified
by battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells.
Do not overfill. For a sealed battery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturers recharging
instructions.
e. Study all battery manufacturers' specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell
caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
f. Determine voltage of battery by referring to vehicle owner's manual and make sure it matches
output rating of the battery charger.

from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.
c. Never allow battery acid to drip on the charger when reading gravity or filling battery.
d. Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
e. Do not set a battery on top of charger.
CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after setting the charger switches to off
position and removing AC cord from the electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each
other.
1. Follow these steps when battery Is Installed In a vehicle. A spark near battery may
cause a battery explosion. To reduce risk of a spark near battery.
a. Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door or any moving engine
parts.
b. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c. Check polarity of battery posts. A positive (pos, +) battery post has a larger diameter than
a negative (neg, -) battery post.
d. Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is
grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles), see item(e). If positive post is grounded to the
chassis, see item (f).
e. For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the positive (red) clip from the battery charger to
the positive (p o s, +) post of battery first. Connect the negative(black) clip from the battery
charger to the vehicle chassis of engine block remote from the battery and fuel line. Do not
connect the clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. connect to a heavy
gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
f. For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the negative (black) clip from the battery charger
to negative (neg, - ) post of battery first. Connect the positive(red) clip from the battery
charger to the vehicle chassis or engine block remote from the battery and fuel line. Do not
connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts, Connect to a heavy gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.

g. If using permanently mounted eyelet lead SAE connector, simply connect to charger
output load.
h. Connect charger AC supply cord to an electric outlet.
I. When disconnecting the charger, disconnect AC cord, remove clip from vehicle chassis,
and then remove clip from battery terminal.
J. See operating instructions for length of charge information.
2. Follow these steps when battery is outside the vehicle, A spark near the battery may
cause a battery explosion. To reduce risk of a spark near battery.
a. Check polarity of battery posts. A positive (p o s, +)
battery post is larger diameter than a negative(neg,-) post.
b. Attach at least a 1. 8m long 0.75mm²insulated battery output cable of charger to the
negative (neg, -) battery post.
c. Connect the positive (red) clip from the battery charger to the positive (pos, +) post of
battery.
d. Position yourself and the free end of cable as far away from battery as possible, then
connect negative(black) clip from the battery charger to free end of cable.
e. Do not face battery when making final connection.
f. Connect charger AC supply cord to an electric outlet.
g. When disconnecting the charger, always do so in sequence of connecting procedure and
break first connection while standing as far away from battery as practical.
h. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on boat
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
AUTOMATIC MONITORING - Your new battery charger is completely automatic and can be left
whenever input power is made available to the charger. The charger output depends on the
condition of the battery it is charging. When the battery is fully charged, the indicating light will
turn green and the charger will switch itself to a storage charge mode and will automatically
monitor and maintain the battery at full charge.
CABLE CONNECTIONS - Connect the red positive (+) lead to the positive terminal of the
battery. Connect the black negative (-) lead to the negative terminal of the battery.
NOTE: If the charger is left connected to a lead acid battery for long periods of time,
check water levels periodically as directed by the battery manufacturer to ensure
electrolyte is maintained at proper level.

ATTENTION: THE BATTERY CHARGER HAS A SPARK FREE, WRONG POLARITY SHORT
CIRCUIT PROTECTION CIRCUITRY BUILT IN-BUT AS A GOOD PRACTICE NEVER
ALLOW THE TWO CLIPS TO CONTACT EACH OTHER.
The Battery Charger will not produce voltage (turn on) until it recognizes at least three volts
from the battery. The battery charger clips must be clipped to a battery in the correct polarity to
initiate output voltage and begin charging when in Lead Acid (Pb) charge mode.
When in Lead Acid (Pb) charge mode if the charger is hooked up in reverse polarity, the
Reverse Polarity light will turn ON, indicating that the connection has been made in reverse of
the polarity of the battery and a charge has not been initiated. The clips must be re-connected
in the proper polarity to start the charger, Red to Positive (+ to +) and Black to Negative (- to -)
NOTE: DO NOT TURN YOUR BATTERY CHARGER ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY (Plug and
Unplug) WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD. IF THIS HAPPENS, UNPLUG BATTERY CHARGER
FROM AC POWER WAIT FOR ONE MINUTE AND THEN CONNECT THE CHARGER AGAIN
TO RESTART CHARGING CYCLE.
ESTIMATED TIME TO CHARGE
(BATTERY CAPACITY) / (CHARGER CURRENT) = HOURS or
(AMP HOURS) / (AMPS) = EST. HOURS TO CHARGE
Suppose you have a 12AH (AMP HOURS) battery. Now let's say you have this 1.5 Amp
charger that will deliver 1.5 Amp current to the battery as long as it takes to get the battery
voltage up to its recharged level.
So, how long will it actually take to charge the battery? You can make a calculated guess by
just dividing two numbers.
Example:
(12AMP HOURS) DIVIDED BY (1.5AMP) = 8 HOURS
Some large capacity batteries may take up to 24 hours or even days to fully charged
Note: it is recommended that only one battery be charged at a time.
FULLY DISCHARGED BATTERIES Lead Acid (Pb)
Charge Mode:
If your battery is totally discharged (below 3 volts), the BATTERY CHARGER circuitry will not
start due to its internal safety circuit. The internal safety circuit of the battery charger must
sense more than 3 volts in the battery before it will allow the charging circuit to turn on. In this
case (battery voltage between 0.5V-3.0V) the Bad Battery Indicator Light will flash, which
means charging has not been initiated if the battery voltage is less than 0.5V, the charger will
return to STANDBY mode.
Note: Unless the battery was rapidly discharged (lights left on overnight) most 12-volt lead acid
batteries that are at a state of charge that is less than 9 volts are likely to be worn out or
defective

72-HOURS SAFETY FEATURE
A 72-hours Safety Timer will commence anytime the charger is on. This feature is designed to
protect marginal batteries from over charging. If the battery voltage reaches the
proper level within 72 hours, the charger will automatically switch to maintenance mode. If your
battery is marginal defective, the Battery Charger will stop all the charging processes to protect
the marginal battery from over charging.
Please check battery condition as it could also indicate that a very large (high capacity) but
good battery is simply not yet fully charged. When this happens, the bad battery indicator will be
flashing. If this is the case, please contact your local dealer and have the battery tested.
SELECTION FOR BATTERY TYPE
AC power is connected in the wall socket property.
Press MODE button for battery charge mode selection before you connect the charger to the
battery terminals

Pd charging mode (lead-acid battery charging mode-6V/12V 1.5A)
1. Qualification Phase
Initially ensures the battery is in good condition prior to launch of normal charge processes, as a
safety measure charge processes will not begin if battery is below 3 volts.
2. Soft Start Phase
Soft Start is applied when the charger has detected a battery at a very low initial state of charge
voltage and current is delivered at a specified rate to help the battery to recover prior to entering
pulse charge mode.
3. Bulk Charge Phase
With the battery now having gone through Qualification and Recovery phases as needed the
Bulk Charge phase gives the battery constant current, taking the battery up to 80% of its full
capacity.
4. Absorption Phase
In the Absorption phase the battery is given constant voltage while current is reduced based on
actions taken from ongoing battery monitoring until the battery is 100% charged.
5.Maintenance phase
The battery can be left safely connected to the charger indefinitely. The charger will constantly
monitor the battery and turn-on again as needed to maintain the battery at a full state of
readiness.
