Red LED – Bad connection, battery not able to accept charge, reverse polarity connection
Yellow LED – Connection correct and charging
Green LED – Battery fully charged
When the charger is properly connected, the LED will illuminate, indicating the inside smart circuit is
functioning to judge the battery status. This procedure may take up to 2 minutes if the battery
voltage is lower than 12.8 volts.
Connecting the Charger with the Terminal Clips
The charger's output leads have color-coded battery clips (Figure 2) (RED-POSITIVE

post's connectors.
2. Position the RED terminal on the bolt of the
POSITIVE battery post connector.
3. Position the BLACK terminal on the
NEGATIVE post connector; then replace the nuts.
4. If there is any problem connecting the output leads, check with a
reputable auto supply store or contact the Customer Service Department
toll-free at (800) 544-6986 for assistance in finding an appropriate
connection device for your particular application.
Note: ALWAYS disconnect the AC power cord from the AC power outlet before
connecting (or disconnecting) the charger to (or from) the battery.
