b. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Explosive gas can be forcefully blown 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 or a 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.
LOCATE CHARGER
a. Locate the charger as far away from battery as the DC cables permit.
b. Never place the charger directly above or below the battery being charged. Gases or fluids 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.
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after unplugging the charger from the electric outlet / disconnect the battery charger from supply main.
Never allow clips to touch each other.
a. Attach clips to battery posts and twist or rock back and forth several times to make a good connection. This tends to keep clips from slipping
off terminals and helps to reduce risk of sparking.
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 DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or any moving engine parts.
b. Stay clear of fan blade, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c. Check polarity of battery posts. A positive (pos, p+) battery post may have a larger diameter than a NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) 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 (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of
battery first. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip from the battery charger to the vehicle chassis 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, N, -) ungrounded post of
battery first. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from the battery charger to the vehicle chassis 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.
g. Connect chargerAC supply plug to an electric outlet.
h. When disconnecting the charger, unplug the charger / disconnect the battery charger from supply main; remove clip from vehicle chassis, and
then remove clip from battery terminal.
i. 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. APOSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post may have a larger diameter than a NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
b. Attach at least a 1.8m long 0.75mm² insulated battery output cable of charger to a NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post .
c. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
d. Position yourself and the free end of cable as far as 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 plug to electric outlet.
g. When disconnecting the charger, always do so in reverse 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 - This price point charger is suitable for use as a battery charger for small (2 to 20AH) batteries and a maintainer only
for larger PowerSports batteries up to 50AH. Includes basic 3 step charging process with an automatic shuit off, maintenance mode. It is suitable for
charging smallAGM, Gel and conventional PowerSports and small SLA batteries.
AUTOMATIC 3 Step Charging and Maintenance– Your MOTOBATT BABY BOY CHARGER features a basic 3 step charging process with automatic
shut off and maintenance mode. It is completely automatic and can be left on the battery. Once the unit shuts off it will monitor the battery and begin
charging again if the battery voltage drops to a point where it needs to be recharged. Unlike other chargers at this price range it does monitor the
battery once the battery has been fully charged. For charging larger batteries (above 20AH) and for fully microprocessor controlled, maintenance and
recovery features use MotoBatt Little Boy (3-45AH), Big Boy (3-60AH) or Fat Boy (4-100AH) or either the 2 or 4 Bank products.
1. Bulk Charge Phase:
The bulk charge phase gives the battery constant current taking the battery up to 80% of its capacity.
2. Absorption Phase:
