CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 – CHECK THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Prior to charging the battery, remove the vent caps and check the electrolyte level. (Not
required on sealed & maintenance free batteries). The electrolyte should be 6mm (1/4")
above the battery's plates.
If low, top up the electrolyte with distilled water to the correct level and refit the vent
caps.
STEP 2A – CONNECTION OUT OF VEHICLE
Connect the RED lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Positive (+) battery post.
Connect the BLACK lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Negative (-) battery post.
CONNECTION OUT OF VEHICLE
STEP 2B – CONNECTION IN VEHICLE
Determine if the vehicle is Positively (+) or Negatively (-) earthed. Negatively earthed
vehicles have a cable (usually black) from the Negative battery terminal to the vehicle's
chassis.
NEGATIVELY EARTHED (MOST VEHICLES)
Connect the RED lead (battery clip) from the charger to the Positive (+) battery terminal.
Connect the BLACK lead (battery clip) from the charger to the vehicle's chassis away
from the fuel line or moving parts.
