Instructions for 1 Amp Digital Automatic Charger
(model V-410)
1. Allow the battery to warm up before charging. This
makes it easier for the charger to charge the battery
and the battery is more accepting of a charge.
2. Plug the charger into a wall outlet, verify that it is
operating by noting the illuminated green light.
3. Connect the charger to the Easy Charge Jack attached to the unit.
The charger's light will switch to red, indicating that it is connected
correctly and the battery is charging.
4. Keep the charger plugged in and connected until the red light has
changed to green. This indicates the battery is at full charge.
5. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet and disconnect from the
battery.
Charging times will vary depending on how much the battery has been
drained. If the battery has been completely drained (approx. 24 to 30 hrs.
of use on a 9 amp battery) the battery will require about nine hours of
charging.

IMPORTANT: If you have an Ultra Pack system, be sure the
Master Power switch is on and the flasher is turned off for charging.
Once the battery is fully charged and the charger's light returns to
green, the charger is then operating in a "Maintenance Mode."
At this stage, the charger can remain connected to an SLA battery
indefinitely and the battery will be maintained at full charge.
There is no need to disconnect the flasher when charging, although
it should be switched off. Also, make sure the battery has a full
charge and is disconnected, and that all power is switched off before
putting it away for storage.
Remember to recharge after each use!
Charger Troubleshooting
A flashing red light indicates that the battery is connected in
reverse. Check to be sure the red wire is attached to the positive
battery terminal and the black wire is connected to the negative.
If the light never turns red and all connections are good, this
indicates that the battery is not accepting a charge. Leave the
charger connected so voltage will be applied. Later, unplug the
charger, wait one minute, then plug it back in. If the light does not
change to red to show the battery has accepted a charge, the battery
will need to be replaced.
