CHARGING THE BATTERY
When you charge, jump, replace, or otherwise connect battery
cables to the battery, be sure the polarity is correct. Improper
polarity can damage the charging circuit. The Vantage positive (+)
battery terminal has a red terminal cover.
If you need to charge the battery with an external charger,
disconnect the negative cable first, then the positive cable before
you attach the charger leads. after the battery is charged,
reconnect the positive battery cable first and the negative cable
last. Failure to do so can result in damage to the internal charger
components.
Follow the instructions of the battery charger manufacturer for
proper charger settings and charging time.
