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.
IMPORTANT: Out of the box, your Vexilar Lithium battery is only
50% charged. You must charge it fully before first use.

The power supply options for fishing are changing rapidly. Now
anglers can use the traditional SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) battery
for their Vexilar system or the next generation of battery, Vexilar
Lithium. As with all batteries, its maintainance is the key to years of
reliable use. Understand that not all lithium batteries are the same.
The Vexilar Lithium battery has been specifically designed to work
with the V-410 charger. Also, please do not attempt to use a Vexilar
V-410 charger on other brands of lithium battery and assume the
charger will properly charge the battery.
Vexilar Lithium Do's
• Recharge the battery after every use even if the battery status
indicator says the charge is at 100%.
• Disconnect the charger as soon as the charge is complete.
• Charge the battery only when it is warm.
• Unlike the optional V-410L, the standard V-410 charger is not a
rapid charger, expect to charge your battery over-night after each
fishing trip. Twelve hours of charging may be required after a
long weekend of fishing.
• It is okay to store the battery over the summer at 30–50% of
capacity, but for longer periods of storage, charge every few
months.
