3. Fully extend battery leads. Connect the red alligator clip to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black alligator clip to the negative (-) battery terminal on a 12V battery. Ensure that the connections are secure. Black Note: The kit should be connected to a battery generating at least 9V to start the charge controller. If the 12V battery is fully discharged, charge it for a short period of time by other means to reach 9V.
