When connecting a charger to a battery, connect the positive lead to the positive (+) terminal and the negative lead to the negative (-) terminal. Reverse polarity connection of leads to the battery terminals 4 may cause a short and may cause significant and irreparable damage to the battery charger and the battery. Damage of this type is NOT covered by warranty.
Make sure all connections are in full contact with the battery terminals and a max torque force of 10ft-lbs is applied. If the max torque force of 10ft-lbs is exceeded, the terminal may be damaged. Loose connections will result in significant heating due to the increased resistance caused by the loose connection and can result in permanent damage to the battery charger or battery.
It is recommended to put dielectric grease on the outer exposed surfaces of your terminals after the connection is complete. Dielectric grease stops air and moisture from corroding exposed metal parts of your connections.
DO NOT put dielectric grease in between the primary contact points of your electrically conducting components.
Install protective terminal covers on all battery terminals prior to use.
