Battery Charging
Important Notes
• Before charging the batteries, exam-
ine the battery cases for cracks and
other damage which may cause
sulfuric acid (electrolyte) to leak dur-
ing the charging process. If damage
is detected, do not charge the bat-
teries or use them in your vehicle.
Battery acid is very corrosive and
can cause severe damage to sur-
faces it contacts.
• If your batteries are already
installed in your vehicle, unplug
the vehicle's motor harness and
battery connectors.
• To charge the batteries, plug
the charger connector and battery
connector together. Push firmly to
make sure the two connectors are
completely joined.
Note: Make sure the two battery con-
nectors are stacked.
• Plug the charger into a standard 120
volt wall outlet. (If power flow to the
wall outlet is controlled by a switch,
make sure the switch is ON.)

• Do not charge the batteries
on a surface which could be dam-
aged by the acid contained inside
the batteries. Take precautions to
protect the surface on which you

your old charger and reassemble

enclosed Wire Harness Converter.
