Questions and answers
I need to know how to wire up the two
To wire the DieHard part number 200.71230 battery charger:
1. Grounding and Power Connection:
- Plug the charger into a properly installed and grounded 120-volt AC outlet.
- If only a two-prong outlet is available, a temporary adapter may be used. Ensure the green grounding clip is securely connected to a grounded outlet plate screw.
- Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. If used, it must be a 3-conductor (grounded) extension cord with matching plug size and shape.
2. Battery Connection:
- Connect the red (POSITIVE) clamp to the battery’s positive post.
- Connect a 6-gauge or 4-gauge insulated cable (at least 24 inches long) to the battery’s negative post.
- Connect the black (NEGATIVE) clamp to the free end of the insulated cable, standing away from the battery. Ensure a solid connection.
3. Final Steps:
- Set the charger’s right-hand 3-position selector switch to OFF.
- Plug the charger into the grounded outlet.
- Select the desired charge setting on the charger.
Always wear safety glasses and face away from the battery during the final connection.
