WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGER-
OUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NOR-
MAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST
IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME
YOU USE THE CHARGER.

•2 •
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF BATTERY EXPLOSION, FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS AND THOSE PUBLISHED BY THE BATTERY MANU-
FACTURER AND THE MANUFACTURER OF ANY EQUIPMENT YOU
INTEND TO USE IN THE VICINITY OF THE BATTERY. REVIEW THE
CAUTIONARY MARKINGS ON THESE PRODUCTS AND ON THE
ENGINE.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS2.
Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you2.1
work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts2.2
your skin, clothing or eyes.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your2.3
eyes while working near the battery.
If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap2.4
and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately ood the eye with cold run-
ning water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in the vicinity of a battery or 2.5
engine.
Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the bat-2.6
tery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that
may cause an explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and2.7
watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can
produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to
metal, causing a severe burn.
Use this charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended2.8
to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter-
motor application. Do not use this battery charger 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.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.2.9
NEVER overcharge a battery.2.10
PREPARING TO CHARGE3.
If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, al-3.1
ways remove the grounded terminal from the battery rst. Make sure all of
the accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is3.2
being charged.

•3 •
Clean the battery terminals before charging the battery. During cleaning,3.3
keep airborne corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes, nose
and mouth. Use baking soda and water to neutralize the battery acid and
help eliminate airborne corrosion. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
Add distilled water to each cell until the battery acid reaches the level3.4
specied by the battery manufacturer. Do not overll. For a battery without
removable cell caps, such as valve regulated lead-acid batteries, carefully
follow the manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
Study all of the battery manufacturer’s specic precautions while charging 3.5
and recommended rates of charge.
Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner’s3.6
manual and make sure that the output voltage selector switch is set to the
correct voltage. If the charger has an adjustable charge rate, charge the
battery at the lowest rate rst.
CHARGER LOCATION4.
Locate the charger as far away from the battery as the DC cables permit.4.1
Never place the charger directly above the battery being charged; gases4.2
from the battery will corrode and damage the charger.
Never allow battery acid to drip onto the charger when reading the electro-4.3
lyte specic gravity or lling the battery.
Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict the ventilation in4.4
any way.
Do not set a battery on top of the charger.4.5
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS5.
Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after setting all of the5.1
charger switches to the “off” position and removing the AC plug from the
electrical outlet. Never allow the clips to touch each other.
Attach the clips to the battery and chassis, as indicated in steps 6.5, 6.6,5.2
and 7.2 thru 7.4.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN6.
VEHICLE.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLO-
SION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
Position the AC and DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood,6.1
door, or moving engine parts.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause6.2
injury.
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery 6.3
post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.

•4 •
Determine which post of the battery is grounded (connected) to the chas-6.4
sis. If the negative post is grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles),
see step 6.5. If the positive post is grounded to the chassis, see step 6.6.
For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip from 6.5
the battery charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of the
battery. Connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to the vehicle chassis or
engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carbure-
tor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block.
For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip 6.6
from the battery charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) ungrounded post
of the battery. Connect the POSITIVE (RED) clip to the vehicle chassis or
engine block away from the battery. Do not connect the clip to the carbure-
tor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gauge metal
part of the frame or engine block.
When disconnecting the charger, turn all switches to off, disconnect the6.7
AC cord, remove the clip from the vehicle chassis, and then remove the
clip from the battery terminal.
See OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for length of charge information.6.8
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE.7.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLO-
SION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery 7.1
post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to 7.2
the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) 7.3
post of the battery.
Position yourself and the free end of the cable you previously attached to7.4
the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post as far away from the battery as
possible – then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to the free
end of the cable.
Do not face the battery when making the nal connection.7.5
When disconnecting the charger, always do so in reverse sequence of7.6
the connecting procedure and break the rst connection while as far away
from the battery as practical.
A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To 7.7
charge it onboard requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
BATTERY CHARGING - AC CONNECTIONS8.

VOLTAGE:• The digital display shows the voltage at the charger battery
clamps in DC volts.
BATTERY TYPE BUTTON10.2
Use this button to set the type of battery to be charged to one of the fol-
lowing:
Regular• – Set button to STANDARD. This battery type is usually used
in cars, trucks and motorcycles. These batteries have vent caps and are
often marked “Low Maintenance” or “Maintenance-free”. This type of
battery is designed to deliver quick bursts of energy (such as starting en-
gines) and have a greater plate count. The plates will also be thinner and
have somewhat different material composition. Regular batteries should
not be used for deep cycle applications
Deep-Cycle• – Set button to STANDARD. Deep-cycle batteries are usu-
ally marked as “Deep-Cycle” or “Marine”. Deep-cycle batteries are usually
larger than the other types. This type of battery has less instant energy
but somewhat greater long-term energy delivery than regular batteries.
Deep cycle batteries have thicker plates and can survive a number of
discharge cycles.
AGM• – Set button to STANDARD. The Absorbed Glass Matt construction
allows the electrolyte to be suspended in close proximity with the plate’s
active material. In theory, this enhances both the discharge and recharge
efciency. Actually, the AGM batteries are a variant of Sealed VRLA bat-
teries. Popular usage high performance engine starting, power sports,
deep cycle, solar and storage battery. AGM batteries are typically good

•7 •
deep cycle batteries and they deliver best life performance if recharged
before the battery drops below the 50 percent discharge rate. If these
AGM batteries are discharged to a rate of 100 percent the cycle life will
be 300 plus cycles and this is true of most AGM batteries rated as deep
cycle batteries.
GEL• – Set button to GEL CELL. The Gel Cell is similar to the AGM style
because the electrolyte is suspended, but different because technically
the AGM battery is still considered to be a wet cell. The electrolyte in a
GEL cell has a silica additive that causes it to set up or stiffen. The re-
charge voltages on this type of cell are lower than the other styles of lead
acid battery. This is probably the most sensitive cell in terms of adverse
reactions to over-voltage charging. Gel Batteries are best used in VERY
DEEP cycle application and may last a bit longer in hot weather applica-
tions. If the incorrect battery charger is used on a Gel Cell battery, poor
performance and premature failure is certain.
Gel Cell and some AGM batteries may require a special charging rate.
Batteries should be marked with their type. If charging a battery that is not
marked, check the manual of the item that uses the battery.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS11.
OVERVIEW11.1
To use this battery charger, rst, select an unused outlet from the eight
available and connect the battery and AC power, if necessary, following
the precautions listed under sections 6 and 7. Then, select the appropriate
BATTERY TYPE for your battery and press START. This section explains
a few details.
CHARGING:11.2 The CONNECTED (red) LED will not light continuously until
a battery is detected. If the charger does not detect a properly connected
battery, the CONNECTED LED will not light. Charging will not begin until
the CONNECTED LED comes on. When charging begins, the CHARGING
(yellow) LED will be lit.
AUTOMATIC CHARGE:11.3 Once the battery type is selected, press the
START button and the charger automatically selects the charge rate
based on battery size and voltage. When an automatic charger is com-
plete, the charger will switch to Maintain Mode and the CHARGED (green)
LED will be lit.
ABORTED CHARGE:11.4 If charging cannot be completed normally, charging
will abort. When charging is aborted, the charger’s output is shut off. The
CONNECTED LED will be lit and the display will read BAD BAT. In this
case, the charger ignores all buttons. To reset after an aborted charge,
press the START/STOP button to turn the charger off.

•8 •
DESULFATION MODE:11.5 If a battery is left discharged for an extended
period of time, it could become sulfated and not accept a normal charge.
The CHARGING LED will blink when the special desulfation mode is ac-
tivated. When blinking, the charger has switched to the Desulfation Mode
of operation. If successful, normal charging will resume after the battery is
desulfated. The CHARGING LED will then stop blinking and light continu-
ously. Desulfation could take up to 10 hours. If desulfation fails, charging
will abort and the CONNECTED LED will remain lit and the display will
read BAD BAT.
COMPLETION OF CHARGING:11.6 Charge completion is indicated by the
CHARGED LED. When lit, the charger has stopped charging and has
switched to Maintain Mode of operation.
MAINTAIN MODE:11.7 When the CHARGED LED is lit, the charger has
started Maintain Mode. This mode of operation is known as Float-Mode
Monitoring. In this mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by
delivering a small current, when necessary. The voltage is maintained at a
level determined by the BATTERY TYPE selected. To nish the charging
cycle press the START/STOP button, and the OFF LED will light.
GENERAL CHARGING NOTES:11.8
The fan runs whenever one or more batteries are being charged.
If the charge mode is changed after charging has started (by pressing the
BATTERY TYPE button), the charging process stops.
The voltage displayed during charging, is the charging voltage and usually
will be higher than the battery’s resting voltage.
USING THE VOLT METER TO TEST BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE12.
OVERVIEW12.1
The charger has a built in volt meter to test your battery’s state of charge.
The charger does not have a built in load tester. As such, a recently
charged battery could have a temporarily high voltage due to what is
known as “surface charge”. The voltage of such a battery will eventually
drop during the period immediately after the charging system is disen-
gaged. Consequently, the tester could display inconsistent values for such
a battery. For a more accurate reading, the surface charge should be
removed by temporarily creating a load on the battery by turning on the
lights or other accessories.
The battery tester is only designed to test 12V batteries. Testing a device
with a rapidly changing voltage could yield unexpected or inaccurate
results.
TESTING SEQUENCE:12.2 There are three basic steps required to test the
battery state of charge:
Connect the battery charger’s clips to the battery. Be sure to follow all1.
of the precautions listed under sections 6 and 7.

•9 •
Connect the charger’s power cord to a 120 VAC outlet. Again, be sure2.
to follow all of the precautions listed under sections 6 and 7.
Read the voltage on the digital meter or press the DISPLAY MODE3.
button to set the tester to BATTERY % and read the battery percent-
age.
TESTER AND CHARGER:12.3 When rst turned on, the charger operates
only as a tester, not as a charger. To continue to use it as only a tester,
avoid pressing the START/STOP button. The charger is always in tester
mode until the START/STOP button is pressed. Pressing the START/
STOP button activates the charger and deactivates the tester.
TESTING AFTER CHARGING:12.4 After the unit has been changed from tes-
ter to charger (by pressing the START/STOP button), it remains a charger
as long as it’s connected to a battery. Press the Start/Stop button again to
change back to tester mode.
BATTERY PERCENT AND CHARGE TIME13.
This charger adjusts the charging time in order to charge the battery com-
pletely, efciently and safely. The microprocessor automatically makes the
necessary decisions. However, this section includes guidelines that can be
used to estimate charging times.
The duration of the charging process depends on three factors:
Battery State – If a battery has only been slightly discharged, it can be13.1
charged in less than a few hours. The same battery could take up to 10
hours if very weak. The battery state can be estimated by using the built-in
tester. The lower the reading, the longer charging will take.
Battery Rating – A higher rated battery will take longer to charge than13.2
a lower rated battery under the same conditions. A battery is rated in
Ampere-Hours (AH), Reserve Capacity (RC) and Cold Cranking Amps
(CCA). The lower the rating, the faster the battery will charge.
Battery Size – The charger automatically selects a charge rate up to 1213.3
amps. The charger charges at the selected charge rate and eventually
reduces the charge rate in a controlled manner. After the charging process
has started, the digital display can be used to determine the charging
progress by selecting the BATTERY % mode.
There are some important facts to keep in mind when charging a
battery:
When the display indicates 77% charged, the battery has been charged13.4
enough to start most vehicles.
The battery % shown in tester mode is an estimate based on the battery13.5
voltage and a scale set by the Battery Council International. The battery %
shown in charger mode is an estimate of the relative charge in the battery
compared to the charge it should have if the charging process is allowed
to complete.

•10 •
The battery % shown in tester mode can be used to estimate the relative13.6
charge time. The lower the % shown, the longer the charge time for a
given battery.
The battery % shown in charger mode is an indication of the relative prog-13.7
ress of the charging process. The higher the battery % displayed, the less
charge time remains.
The more a battery is discharged, the faster it absorbs a charge from the13.8
charger. That means that the battery % increases faster at the beginning
of the charging process than at the end. In other words, it takes longer for
a battery to accept the last few percent of the charge than the rst several
percent.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS14.
Before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect battery charger14.1
(see sections 6.7 and 7.6).
After use, use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil14.2
from terminals, cords, and the charger case.
Servicing does not require opening unit, as there are no user-serviceable14.3
parts.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS15.
Store charger unplugged, in an upright position. The cord will still conduct15.1
electricity until it is unplugged from outlet.
Store inside, in a dry, cool place (unless you’re using a UL Listed, on-15.2
board Marine Charger ).
Do not store clips on handle, clipped together, on or around metal, or15.3
clipped to cables.

24 hours. The charger is
in abort mode. The battery
may also be faulty.
See the “USING
YOUR BATTERY
CHARGER” section.
Reset the charger by
unplugging it. Select
the desired battery
type again, if neces-
sary.
The charger is making an
audible clicking sound. The charger has a relay that turns the current on and off
to the battery.
No problem, this is a
normal condition.
The measured current is
much lower than what was
selected.
The charger reached the
maximum voltage and is
reducing the current.
The charger detected an
over-temperature condition
and has reduced the current
to allow the unit to cool.
No problem, this is a
normal condition.
Make sure the char-
ger does not have the
side ventilation holes
blocked. Move the
charger out of the sun
and into the shade.
The charger was unplugged
from the wall but the display
is still on.
The battery is supplying the
power to the display. Disconnect the bat- tery.
While charging the battery,
the battery stays at a cer-
tain % (ex. <65%).
The % display may not
change at a steady rate. DO NOT UNPLUG OR CHANGE SET-
TING. Be patient and
let the charger nish.
This is normal.
When the charger is
unplugged or the settings
are changed, the number
increases or jumps to 100%.
The battery voltage is still
high from a partial charge. Wait for the voltage to settle before resum-
ing the charge. Try
to charge at a lower
charge rate. Turn on
the lights to remove
the surface charge.
