3. Do not expose charger to rain, snow
or moisture.
4. Operate charger only in well-ventilated areas.
Batteries generate explosive gases during
normal operation.
5. Wear eye protection when operating charger.
6. Never use an extension cord or any
attachment not recommended by
manufacturer, otherwise this may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
7. It is recommended that you periodically
check the battery charger while charging.
8. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug
and cord, pull by the plug rather than cord
when disconnecting charger.
9. Do not attempt to charge damaged or
frozen batteries.
10. Do not operate the charger if the cord or
plug has been damaged or if the charger
has been subjected to shock or damage.
Take it to a qualified technician for repair.
11. Do not disassemble the charger. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire.
12. Unplug the charger from power source before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Use
lint-free cloth to clean the surface, do not
immerse into water.
13. This charger is not intended for use by
children or persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of ex-
perience and knowledge without supervision.
14. WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
WORKING IN 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 YOU FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE
THE CHARGER. To reduce risk of battery
explosion, follow these instructions and
those published by the battery manufacturer

and the manufacturer of any equipment you
intend to use in the vicinity of the battery.
Review cautionary marking on these
products and on engine.
SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
1. Someone should be within range of your
voice or close enough to come to your aid
if you have an accident.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby
in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing
or eyes.
3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing
protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near battery.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing,
wash immediately with soap and water. If
acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with
running cold water for at least 10 minutes
and get medical attention immediately.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame
in vicinity of battery or engine.
6. Remove all jewelry and other metallic items
from your hands and body when working
with batteries. Metal may spark or create a
short circuit resulting in electrical shock, fire
or explosion which may result in injury, death
or property damage.
7. Always use non-conductive or insulated
tools when working with any battery.
8. Use charger for charging LEAD-ACID or
LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE batteries
only. Do not attempt to charge any other
type of battery. Charging other battery
types may cause injury to persons and
damage to property.
9. NEVER USE THE RECOVER MODE FOR
A LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE BATTERY.

MOUNTING
The SLC10004A has
four (4) external holes
for mounting. Mount
the charger in a desired
location with #6 self-drill
screws. Make sure there
are no obstructions
behind the mounting
surface. The DC cable
length from the charger,
with the clamp or
eyelet, is approximately
23-inches (584.2mm).
Allow for 12-inches
(340mm) of slack
between connections.
LOCATION
Locate the charger as far away from the battery as possible. Do not place the charger directly above
the battery as gases from battery will corrode and damage charger. Do not allow battery acid to come
in contact with charger. Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or an area with restricted
ventilation. Do not set battery on top of charger.

CHARGING MODES
The SLC10004A has eight (8) modes. The Lithium and Recover charge modes require the mode
button to be pressed and held for three (3) seconds to enter the enhanced mode. These “Enhanced”
modes require your full attention before selecting. NEVER USE RECOVER MODE ON LITHIUM
IRON PHOSPHATE BATTERIES.

PREPARING TO CHARGE
1. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle
to charge, always remove grounded terminal
from battery first. Make sure all accessories
in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause
an arc.
2. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated
while battery is being charged.
3. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep
corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
4. Study all battery manufacturer’s specific
precautions while charging and
recommended rates of charge.
5. Determine voltage of battery by referring to
vehicle owner’s manual and make sure that
the output voltage selector switch is set at
correct voltage. If charger has adjustable
charge rate, charge battery initially at
lowest rate.

CONNECTING TO BATTERY
1. Set any charger switches to “off” position
and remove AC cord from electric outlet
before connecting or disconnecting DC
output clamps or eyelets. Never allow
clamps or eyelets to touch each other.
2. Identify the correct polarity of the battery
terminals. The positive battery terminal is
typically marked with (POS, P, +). The
negative terminal is typically marked with
(NEG, N, -).
3. Position cords and cables to reduce risk
of damage by hood, door or moving parts
(including fan blades, belts, and pulleys)
or other parts that could cause injury
to persons.
4. Do not connect to carburetor, fuel lines,
or sheet-metal body parts.
5. Determine which post of battery is grounded
(connected) to the chassis. If negative post is
grounded to the chassis (as in most vehicles)
see (6). If positive post is grounded to the
chassis, see (7).
6. For Negative-grounded vehicle, connect
POSITIVE (RED) clamp or eyelet connector
from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
post of battery. Connect NEGATIVE (BLACK)
clamp or eyelet connector from battery
charger to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -)
post of battery.
7. For Positive grounded vehicle, connect
NEGATIVE (BLACK) clamp or eyelet
connector from battery charger to
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post of battery.
Connect POSITIVE (RED) clamp or eyelet
connector from battery charger to the
POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
8. When disconnecting charger, turn switches
to off, disconnect AC cord, remove
connectors in reverse sequence from
connecting procedure.

THE BATTERY CHARGER MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY ACCORDING TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE.
STARTING THE CHARGING PROCESS:
Once you have established that the battery clamps or eyelets have been correctly connected, you can
start the charging process. To do so, insert the charger plug into the AC socket.
The charger will start in
Stand by mode, indicated
by the STAND BY LED (1).
