CONNECTING YOUR BATTERY

Battery in Vehicle (Negative Grounded)

1
Before connecting and disconnecting the
DC output clamps, remove the AC plug from
the electrical outlet.
NEVER allow the DC output clamps
to touch each other. This may cause
a spark.
To reduce the risk of a spark near battery:
• Position AC and DC cords to reduce the risk of
damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
• Stay clear of fan blades, pulleys, and other
parts that can cause injury.
• Check polarity of battery posts. A positive (POS,
P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter
than a negative (NEG, N, –) battery post.
NOTE: A marine battery installed in a boat must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board
requires equipment specially designed for marine use.
