IF THE BATTERY IS INSTALLED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE
1.) Position both the AC power plug and battery clamps or eyelet terminal
connectors to avoid accidental damage by moving vehicle parts (i.e. hoods,
doors) or moving engine parts (i.e. fan blades, belts, pulleys).
2.) Determine the vehicle's battery system. If the POSITIVE (POS,P,+) battery
terminal is connected to the vehicle chassis, then the vehicle has a Positive
Ground System. If the NEGATIVE (NEG,N,-) battery terminal is connected to
the vehicle chassis, then the vehicle has a Negative Ground System. Negative
Ground Systems are the most common.
3: Option A) For Negative Ground Systems, connect the POSITIVE (Red)
battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector to the POSITIVE (POS,P,+) battery
terminal. Next, connect the NEGATIVE (Black) battery clamp or eyelet terminal
connector to the vehicle chassis. DO NOT CONNECT TO THE CARBURETOR,
FUEL LINES, OR THIN SHEET METAL PARTS. MAKE THE CONNECTION TO
THE ENGINE BLOCK OR A HEAVY GAUGE METAL PART OF THE FRAME.
3: Option B) For Positive Ground Systems, connect the NEGATIVE (Black)
battery clamp or eyelet terminal connector to the NEGATIVE (NEG,N,-) battery
terminal. Next, connect the POSITIVE (Red) battery clamp or eyelet terminal
connector to the vehicle chassis. DO NOT CONNECT TO THE CARBURETOR,
FUEL LINES, OR THIN SHEET METAL PARTS. MAKE THE CONNECTION TO
THE ENGINE BLOCK OR A HEAVY GAUGE METAL PART OF THE FRAME.
4.) Connect the battery charger's AC power plug into a suitable electrical
outlet. DO NOT FACE THE BATTERY WHEN MAKING THIS CONNECTION.
5.) When disconnecting the battery charger, disconnect in the reverse
sequence.
WICKED SMART TIP
Positive Ground Systems are not very common nowadays. They
are typically found on vintage cars (i.e. classic cars) and tractors
manufactured before the early 1970's. The reason for the conversion to
Negative Ground Systems was primarily due to the battery corrosion
that accumulated on the positive battery terminals. It was believed that
Positive Ground Systems suffered from increased battery corrosion
due to the opposite polarity since anodes have an oxidation reaction
and cathodes have a reduction reaction. In a battery, the cathode is the
positive.

HOW TO START CHARGING

1.) Confirm that you have connected the battery clamp or eyelet terminal
connectors properly and the AC power plug is plugged into an electrical
outlet.
2.) The battery charger will begin in the STANDBY mode, indicated by a Green
LED. In the STANDBY mode, the battery charger is not outputting any current.
By pressing the MODE button, toggle to the appropriate charge mode, based
on the size and chemistry of your battery, to begin the charging process.
The 13.6V SUPPLY and 16V BOOST modes require a special selection to
enter into these charge modes. See "USING 13.6V SUPPLY MODE" and
"USING 16V BOOST MODE."
3.) Depending on the charge mode selected, an LED will illuminate the
selected charge mode and the CHARGE LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) will
begin to illuminate (depending on the health of the battery), indicating the
charging process has started.
4.) When the battery is fully charged, all the CHARGE LEDs will be a solid
color (Red, Red, Yellow, Green), indicating the charge process is completed.
5.) The battery charger can be left connected to the battery at all times to
provide maintenance charging. However, it is good practice to check the
battery periodically.
WICKED SMART FEATURE
INITIALIZATION. When the battery charger is plugged into an AC
electrical outlet and connected to a battery, there will be a brief (one to
three seconds) delay, then all LEDs will light up for a half (1/2) second,
to confirm all LEDs are operational. After the initialization, the only LED
that will illuminate is the last mode selected. If not in STANDBY mode,
the battery charger will begin charging after five (5) seconds. The five (5)
second delay allows time to toggle through the charge modes.
