LSL Products BatteReady Installation & Operation Instructions

GENERAL INFORMATION: BatteReady™ is specifically designed to recharge and maintain lead-acid batteries in devices that aren't used on a regular basis. It
can be connected to your battery indefinitely, ensuring that the battery is always fully-charged and ready for use. Key features include: (1.) User-selectable
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION for a precise, accurate charge under any weather conditions, (2.) AUDIBLE AND VISUAL "WATCHDOG"
WARNINGS if either the battery or AC power are accidentally disconnected, and (3.) Two USER-SELECTABLE CHARGE PROFILES to accommodate AGM,
Gell-Cell and conventional Flooded-Cell batteries.

STEP 1: Identify a suitable mounting location for the Charger Unit, preferably within easy view of normal foot traffic and
less than 5-1/2 feet from an AC wall outlet. If located outdoors, both the Charger Unit and DC Power Supply must be
sheltered from the elements. Also, since the Charger Unit contains a temperature sensor, it should be located where it
will exposed to the same temperatures as your battery if the Temperature Compensation feature is turned on.
Secure the Charger Unit to your chosen mounting surface, using either the self-tapping screws or magnets included in
the kit. (The magnets are typically used to secure the Charger Unit to metal surfaces on the device containing your
battery - i.e., on a generator enclosure, tractor hood, motorcycle frame, etc.). To protect the paint on your metal surface,
attach a clear vinyl stick-on scratch protector to the bottom of each magnet.
STEP 2: On one end of the Charger Wires, strip 1/4" of insulation off the wire ends, attach them to the Green Connector, and then plug this Connector into
the Charger Unit:

STEP 3: Route the Charger Wires over to your battery, and then attach the white Inline Connectors to it:

Strip 1/4" insulation off each wire end, then
Cut Charger Wires at your
chosen Connector location... twist the fine wires in each wire tip together...
NOTE: On all connectors, the RED wire goes in the connector hole with a RED DOT next to it.
NOTE: Use a heat gun or butane lighter to shrink the tubing, taking care to avoid burning it.
STEP 4: Cut any excess length from the battery end of the red and black Charger Wires, leaving some slack for making connections to your battery.
STEP 5: Strip approx. 1/4" off the end of the Red [+] Charger Wire, twist any frayed wire strands together, and insert it into one
hole in Circuit Breaker. Take the surplus red wire left over from Step 4, and cut a piece long enough to go from the other hole on
the Circuit Breaker to your battery's POSITIVE post. Strip the insulation off one end of it, twist any frayed wire strands together,
and insert it into the other hole in the Circuit Breaker. Note that the circuit breaker is installed on the RED [+] wire - NOT on
the BLACK [–] wire.
CAUTION: The Circuit Breaker is a critical safety safety part that should not be omitted - Otherwise, a short circuit
anywhere in the wires between the battery and Charger Unit could cause the battery to supply tremendous amounts of
current, melting the wires and possibly resulting in a fire.
STEP 6: Strip approx. 1/4" off the other end of the Red wire you used in Step 5, insert it into the sleeve of a ring terminal, and
tightly crimp the sleeve to attach the wire to the terminal. In a similar manner, install the other ring terminal on the end of the black
[–] Charger Wire.
STEP 7: Connect the ring terminals to your battery posts (taking care to attach the RED wire to your battery's POSITIVE terminal),
plug the DC Power Supply into an AC wall outlet, plug the DC Power Cord into the Charge Unit, and mate the Inline Connectors.
This completes the installation process.

Step-By-Step Installation Instructions

(Using the parts included in the Full Kit )
DC Power Cord
Installation of the kit involves (1.) mounting the Charger Unit in a convenient location, (2.) routing the wires
from it to the DC Power Supply and your 12 Volt Battery, (3.) attaching the Inline Connectors at a convenient
point in the Charger Wires, (4.) using ring terminals to connect your Battery to the Charger Wires and Circuit
Breaker, and (5.) plugging the DC power Supply into an AC wall outlet and the Charger Unit.
