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

The batteries must be upright while
charging. You do not need to remove
the batteries from your vehicle to
charge them.
Remove the connector cover from
your old charger and reassemble
it on the H-style end of the
enclosed Wire Harness Converter.
Plug the end of the Wire Harness
Converter with Connector Cover
to your battery connector. The
A-Style end of the Wire Harness
