General Charging Notes
Fan: The charger is designed to control its cooling fan for efficient operation.
Consequentially, it is normal for the fan to start and stop when maintaining a fully
charged battery. Keep the area near the charger clear of obstructions to allow the fan to
operate efficiently.
Voltage: The voltage displayed during charging is the charging voltage and is usually
higher than the battery’s resting voltage.
CALCULATING CHARGE TIME
Use the table below to more accurately determine the time it will take to bring a battery
to full charge. First, identify where your battery fits into the chart.
NR means that the charger setting is NOT RECOMMENDED.
Find your battery’s rating on the chart, and note the charge time given for each charger
setting. The times given are for batteries with a 50% charge prior to recharging. Add
more time for severely discharged batteries.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
After use and before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect the battery
charger (see Sections 6, 7 and 8).
Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil from the terminals,
cords, and the charger case.
Ensure that all of the charger components are in place and in good working condition,
including the plastic boots on the battery clips.
Servicing does not require opening the unit, as there are no user-serviceable parts.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Store the charger unplugged, in an upright position. The cord will still conduct electricity
until it is unplugged from the outlet.
Store inside, in a cool, dry place.
Store the clips on the fiberglass clamp rod. Do not store them on the handle, clipped
together, on or around metal, or clipped to the cables.
