CHARGING A BATTERY INSTALLED
IN A VEHICLE
WARNING! A spark near the battery may cause the battery to
explode. To reduce the risk of a spark near a battery:
1. Position the AC and DC cords to reduce the risk of damage
caused by the hood, door, or moving engine parts.
2. Stay clear of the fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that
can cause injury to persons.
3. Check the polarity of the battery posts. The positive (+) battery
post usually has a larger diameter than the negative (-) battery
post.
4. Determine which post of the battery is
grounded (connected) to the chassis. If the
negative post is grounded to the chassis (as
in most vehicles), see figure 1 and instruction
5-a. If the positive post is grounded to the
chassis, see figure 2 and instruction 5-b.
5-a. For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect
the positive (red) clip from the battery
charger to the positive (+) ungrounded post
of the battery. See figure 1
5-b. For a positive-grounded vehicle, connect the
negative (black) clip from the battery
charger to the negative (-) ungrounded
post of the battery. See figure 2
6. Connect the remaining battery charger
clip to the vehicle chassis or engine
block, as far away from the battery as
possible. Do not connect the clip to the
carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal
body parts. Connect to a heavy-gauge
metal part of the frame or engine block.
7. When disconnecting the charger, turn all control switches to
the OFF position, disconnect the AC power cord, remove the
clip from the vehicle chassis, and then remove the clip from the
battery terminal.
