SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. Working in a vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases
during normal battery operation. For this reason it is of the utm ost importance that each time before using your charger, you read and
follow the instructions provided exactly:

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

1. To reduce risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those marked on the battery.

2. NEVER smoke or allow an open spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.

3. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. For indoors use only.

4. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer m ay result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.

5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting the charger.

6. Make sure the cord is located so that it cannot be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. The supply cord cannot
be replaced. If the cord is damaged the appliance should be scrapped.

7. Study all the battery manufacturers specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of
charge.

8. Do not use the battery charger unless the battery voltage matches the output voltage rating of the charger.

9. Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.

10. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric
shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure:

a. That pins on the plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of plug on charger;
b. That extension cord is properly wired and is in good electrical condition;

11. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from an outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:

1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.

3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.

4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing wash immediately with soap and water, if acid enters an eye, immediately flood eye with running cold
water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.

5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.

6. Be extra cautions to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical parts that may
cause an explosion.

7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can
produce a short-circuited current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal causing a severe burn.

8. Use the charger for charging a rechargeable lead-acid battery ONLY. It is not intended to supply power to an extra low-voltage electrical

system or to charge dry-cell batteries. Charging dry-cell batteries may cause them to burst and cause injury to persons and damage to

property.

9. NEVER charge a frozen battery.

PREPARING TO CHARGE:

1. If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge it, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in
the vehicle are off in order to prevent damage to the electrical systems.

2. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Using a piece of cardboard or other nonmetallic material as a fan
can forcefully blow gas away

3. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with eyes.

4. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells.

Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow manufacturers recharging instructions.

5. Study all battery manufacturers specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of
charge.

6. Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner manual and make sure it matches output rating of the battery charger.

LOCATE CHARGER:

1. Locate the charger as far away from battery as the DC cables permit.

2. Never place the charger directly above or below the battery being charged. Gases or fluids from the battery will corrode and damage the

charger.

3. Never allow battery acid to drip on the charger when filling battery.

4. Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or without sufficient ventilation in any way.

5. Do not set a battery on top of the charger.

CONNECTING CHARGER:

Connect and disconnect DC output clips only after removing AC cord from the electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.

1. Follow these steps when battery is installed in a vehicle. A spark near battery may cause a battery explosion. To reduce risk of a spark
near battery:

a. Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door or moving engine part.
b. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
c. Check polarity of battery posts. A positive (pos, p+) battery post usually has a larger diameter than a negative (neg, n-) post.
d. Make sure all electrical accessories, like ignition, radio, Lights, Car telephone and so on are switched off.
e. Please observe the warnings of your car owners Manual and Maintenance book and the battery supplier.
f. Connect the charger with the supply cord to an electric outlet. The red LED “POWER” lights up when voltage is applied.
g. Connect the positive (red) charger clip to the positive (pos, p. +) post of battery and the negative (black) charger clip to the negative

(neg, n. -) battery post. The charging process starts automatically. The yellow LED “CHARGING” lights up when the charger is operating.
h. When the red LED “WRONG POALRITY” lights up, please disconnect and exchange the charger clips to the correct battery post.
i. When disconnecting the charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break first connection while standing

as far away from battery as practical.

2. Follow these steps when battery is outside the vehicle. A spark near the battery may cause a battery explosion. To reduce risk of a spark
near battery:

a. Check polarity of battery posts. A positive (pos, p. +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than a negative (neg, n. -) post.
b. Please observe the warnings of the battery supplier.
c. Connect the charger with the supply cord to an electric outlet. The red LED “POWER” lights up when voltage is applied
d. Connect the positive (red) charger clip to the positive (pos, p. +) post of battery and the negative (black) charger clip to the negative

(neg, n. -) battery post. The charging process starts automatically. The yellow LED “CHARGING” lights up when the charger is operating.
e. When the red LED “WRONG POALRITY” lights up, please disconnect and exchange the charger clips to the correct battery post.
f. When disconnecting the charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break first connection while standing

USER INSTRUCTIONS:

AUTOMATIC MONITORING – Your new BA126 battery charger is completely automatic and may be left on whenever input power is made

available to the charger. The charger output depends on the condition of the battery it is charging. When the battery is fully charged, the indicating
light “STORAGE CHARGING” will turn green and the charger will switch itself to a storage charge mode and will automatically monitor and maintain
the battery at full charge.

CABLE CONNECTIONS – The BA126 battery charger is equipped with two output leads, a red positive lead, and a black negative lead. Please
follow the warnings for connecting and disconnecting the output leads.
.
For all battery types: Connect the red positive (+) lead to the po sitive terminal of the battery. Connect the black negative (-) lead to the negative
terminal of the battery.

If the charger is left connected to a battery for long periods of time, check water levels as directed by the battery manufacturer to ensure they remain
at the proper level.

ATTENTION: YOUR BA126 CHARGER HAS SPARK FREE CIRCUITRY! The clips will not spark when touched together.

The BA126 will not produce voltage (turn on) until it senses at least three volts from the battery. It must be connected to a battery to start working.
The clips terminals must be clipped to a battery in the correct polarity to initiate output voltage. In other words, if you plug the A.C. cord into a 230V
power source, the output clips will not spark when touched together.

REMEMBER – THE OUTPUT CLIPS MUST BE CONNECTED TO A BATTERY TO PRODUCE AN OUTPUT VOLTAGE.

If the charger is hooked up backwards, the red light will continue flashing which indicates that a charge has not been initated. The clips must be
connected in the proper polarity to start the charger, Red to Positive (+ TO +) and Black to Negative (- TO -).

REMEMBER – NEVER TURN ON AND OFF YOUR BA126 REPETITIONARY IN SECONDS. IF THIS HAPPENS, PLEASE UNPLUG THE
BA126 FROM AC POWER, WAIT FOR ONE MINUTE AND THEN CONNECT THE CHARGER AGAIN TO RESTART CHARGING CYCLE.
