Charging a Removed Battery

1. To charge a battery that has been removed from the vehicle,

check the polarity identiﬁcation marks on the battery post:

POSITIVE (POS, P or +) and NEGATIVE (NEG, N or -). The

positive post is usually marked red and is larger than the

negative post.

2. Attach a 24-inch-long (at least), 6-gauge (AWG), insulated

battery cable to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N or -) battery post.

Twist the clamp back and forth to ensure a solid electrical

connection is made.

3. Connect the POSITIVE (red) output clamp to the POSITIVE

battery post. Twist the clamp back and forth to be sure a

solid electrical connection is made.

4. Position yourself as far away from the battery as possible and

connect the NEGATIVE (black) output clamp to the free end

of the cable.

5. Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
