CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1 - CHECK THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Prior to charging the battery, remove the vent caps and check the electrolyte level.
(Not required on sealed & maintenance free batteries).
The electrolyte should be 6mm (1/4”) above the battery’s plates.
If low, top up the electrolyte with distilled water to the correct level and refit the vent caps.
STEP 2A - CONNECTION OUT OF VEHICLE
Connect the RED lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Positive (+) battery post.
Connect the BLACK lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Negative (-) battery post.
STEP 2B - CONNECTION IN VEHICLE
Determine if the vehicle is Positively (+) or Negatively (-) earthed. Negatively earthed vehicles
have a cable (usually black) from the Negative battery terminal to the vehicle’s chassis.
Negatively earthed (Most Vehicles)
Connect the RED lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Positive (+) battery terminal.
Connect the BLACK lead (battery clip) from the charger to the vehicle’s chassis away from the
fuel line or moving parts.
