This kit provides the parts you need to replace the
connector on the wiring harness, the connector on the
charger, or both.

Replacing the Connector on
the Wiring Harness
1. Remove the old connector by cutting both the black and
red wires about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the wire harness.
2. Strip about 3/16 inch (5 mm) of insulation off the ends
of both wires.
3. Slide a piece of heat-shrink tubing over each wire on
the new connector (Fig. 1A).
4. Position the wires as shown in Figure 1A and solder
them together.

Important Ensure that you match the color of the wires
you are joining; otherwise, you could damage the charger
when you attempt to charge the battery.
5. Slide the heat-shrink tubing pieces over the soldered
connections (Fig. 1B).
6. Shrink the tubing pieces using a hair dryer (at high
setting) until the tubing conforms to the shape of the
wires and the solder connection.

3. Strip about 3/16 inch (5 mm) of insulation off the end
of both wires (Fig. 2).
4. Plug the charger into a standard household outlet.
5. Use a voltmeter to determine which of the wires is
positive and label it (Fig. 2).
Note: The reading should be 13.80 ± 0.25V DC. If not,
check the outlet where you plugged in the charger. If the
outlet is working properly, replace the charger.
6. Slide a piece of heat-shrink tubing over each wire on
the new connector (Fig. 3).

7. Position the wires as shown in Figure 3A and solder
them together.
Important Match the red wire on the new connector to
the wire that you marked positive in step 5. If you don’t
match the polarity, you could damage the charger.
8. Slide the heat-shrink tubing pieces over the soldered
connections (Fig. 3B).
9. Shrink the tubing pieces using a hair dryer (at high
setting) until the tubing conforms to the shape of the
wires and the solder connection.
