Battery Charging
Important Notes
• Before charging the batteries, examine the battery cases for cracks and
other damage which may cause
sulfuric acid (electrolyte) to leak during the charging process. If damage
is detected, do not charge the batteries or use them in your vehicle.
Battery acid is very corrosive and
can cause severe damage to surfaces 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 connectors 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.)
