All the pins on the plug of the extension cord are exactly the same number,size 

and shape as the ones on the plug of the charger.

Use only a properly wired extension cord in good electrical condition.

Use an industrial grade / heavy duty UL or CSA approved and grounded 

extension cord. Before use make sure the extension cord has no cuts, is not 

damaged and prongs are not bent. Replace immediately if damaged. Always 

make your extension cord connection on the charger side first. 

ABOUT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The important safety and operating instructions described in this manual apply 

for the Battery Charger.

CAUTION 

- To minimize the risk of injury, charge only 12V Flooded and AGM lead 

acid batteries. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury.

EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS TO CHARGER SHALL COMPLY WITH THE 

REGULATION. 

Before connecting your batteries or applying AC power,  please read all instruc-

tions and cautionary markings on the battery charger, cables, and batteries.

WARNING

To minimize the risk of injury to the user or property, before using the charger 

for the first time, make sure to read and understand all the instructions and 

warnings described in this manual as well as the ones written directly on the 

charger and batteries.

WARNING

WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.

Use the charger for charging LEAD-ACID battery only. The Marine Battery 

Charger is not designed to supply power to an extra - low - voltage electrical 

system or to charge dry-cell batteries. Charging dry-cell batteries may burst and 

cause injury to persons and property.

 

To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, always pull the cord by 

the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting from the mains.

Extension cords:

WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.

BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY 

OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT 

YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
To minimize the risk of battery explosion, make sure to follow the instructions 

provided in this manual as well as the ones written directly on the battery.

Installation

When connecting each jacketed battery charger cable, make sure it is connected

to only 

one 12 VDC

 

battery

 and observe the polarity and color of all connections:

    • Red Wire to the “+” (Positive) Battery connection

    • Black Wire to the “-” (Negative) Battery connection
The black wire can never be connected to a terminal with red wires and vice 

versa. 

Important: The pair of red and black wires in 1 cable jacket MUST GO TO 

THE SAME 12VDC battery.
