Charging Tips
Read this entire manual before using your battery charger. The following tips
serve only as a guide for specific situations.
Your charger has been designed NOT to spark if the ring terminals on the •
leads accidentally touch one another, or if the leads are connected in
reverse.
The battery must measure at least 1 volt to start the charging of the battery. •
The POWER ON (green) LED will be on even if the charging is not taking
place. You can verify charging by measuring the battery voltage and noting
an increase in volts.
This charger is ideally suited for maintaining the battery charge level for the •
following applications:
Storage of a battery during non-seasonal use. ◦
For vehicles seldom used or placed in storage. ◦
For improved battery performance during cold weather. ◦
