    • Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE
    • Connect POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of battery.
    • Position yourself and free end of cable as far away from battery as possible – then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to free end of cable.
    • Do not face battery when making final connection.
    • When disconnecting charger, always do so in reverse sequence of connecting procedure and break first connection while as far away from battery as practical.
    • A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To charge it on board requires equipment specially designed for marine use.

GROUNDING AND AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

Charger should be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. Charger is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER – Never alter AC cord or plug provided – if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

DANGER – Before using adapter as illustrated, be certain that center screw of outlet plate is grounded. The green-colored rigid ear or lug extending from adapter must be connected to a properly grounded outlet– make certain it is grounded. If necessary, replace original outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear or lug to outlet cover plate and make ground connection to grounded outlet.
NOTE:
USE OF AN ADAPTER IS NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. IF A GROUNDING-TYPE RECEPTACLE IS NOT AVAILABLE, DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE UNTIL THE PROPER OUTLET IS INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

USER INSTRUCTIONS

AUTOMATIC CHARGING AND BATTERY STATUS MONITORING :

Battery Tender® Plus chargers are completely automatic and may be left connected to both AC power and to the battery that it is charging for long periods of time. The charger output power, voltage, and current depends on the condition of the battery it is charging. Battery Tender® Plus chargers have 2 status indicator lights that provide a visual means to determine the operating mode of the charger and hence the condition of the battery connected to the charger. The two-colored status indicator lights are available to determine whether the charger is operating in one of the 3 primary charge modes: the bulk mode (full charge, constant current, battery is 0% to 85% charged), the absorption mode (high constant voltage, battery is 85% to 100% charged), or the storage/float maintenance mode (low constant voltage, battery is 100% to 103% charged). When the battery is fully charged, the green status indicator light will turn on and the charger will switch to a storage/maintenance charge mode. The Battery Plus® Plus charger will automatically monitor and maintain the battery at full charge.
ATTENTION: The Battery Tender® Plus CHARGER HAS A SPARK-FREE CIRCUITRY. The output alligator clips or ring terminals will not spark when they are touched together. The Battery Tender® Plus charger will not produce an output voltage until it senses at least 3 volts from the battery. It must be connected to a battery with the correct polarity before it will start charging a battery. Therefore, if you plug the AC power cord into an AC power outlet, and if the output alligator clips or ring terminals are not connected to a battery, and if you touch the alligator clips or ring terminals together, there will be no electrical spark.

NOTE:

THE OUTPUT CLIPS OR RING TERMINALS MUST BE CONNECTED TO A BATTERY BEFORE THE CHARGER CAN PRODUCE AN OUTPUT VOLTAGE.
If the charger is hooked up backwards, the red light and green light will flash alternately. The alligator clips or accessory ring terminals must be connected to the battery, with the proper polarity, Red to Positive (+ output to + battery post) and Black to Negative (- output to – battery post), before the charger will generate any output voltage.

TIME REQUIRED TO ® CHARGE A BATTERY:

The Battery Tender Plus charges at a rate of 1.25 Amps, or 1.25 Amp-Hours per hour. Therefore, a fully discharged 15 Amp-Hour battery will take approximately 10 hours to recharge to 80% capacity.

WORKING WITH A DEAD BATTERY OR A BATTERY WITH A VERY LOW VOLTAGE:

If you try to charge a dead battery having a voltage below 3 Volts, the Battery Tender® Plus charger will not start. An internal safety circuit prevents the charger from generating any output voltage unless it senses at least 3 Volts at the charger output. In this situation, the red light will continue to flash, indicating that a charge has not been initiated.
NOTE:
If a 12 Volt, Lead-Acid battery has an output voltage of less than 9 volts when it is at rest, when it is neither being charged nor supplying electrical current to an external load, there is a good chance that the battery is defective. As a frame of reference, a fully charged 12-Volt, Lead-Acid battery will have a rest-state, no-load voltage of approximately 12.9 volts. A fully discharged 12-Volt, Lead-Acid battery will have a rest-state, no-load voltage of approximately 11.4 volts. That means that a voltage change of only 1.5 volts represents the full range of charge 0% to 100% on a 12-Volt, Lead-Acid battery. Depending on the manufacturer, and the age of the battery, the specific voltages will vary by a few tenths of a volt, but the 1.5-volt range will still be a good indicator of the battery charge %.

STATUS INDICATING LIGHTS: If neither light is lit, then the battery is not properly connected and/or the charger is not plugged into AC power.

The following describes light operation:

• RED LIGHT FLASHING – The red light flashing indicates that the battery charger has AC power available and that the microprocessor is functioning properly. If the red light continues to flash, then either the battery voltage is too low (less than 3 volts) or the output alligator clips or ring terminals are not connected correctly.
• RED LIGHT ON STEADY – Whenever the red light is on steady, a battery is connected properly and the charger is charging the battery. The red light will remain on until the charger completes the charging stage.
• GREEN LIGHT FLASHING –When the green light is flashing, and the red light is on, the battery is greater than 80% charged and may be removed from the charger and used if necessary. Whenever possible, leave the battery on charge until the green light is solid.
• GREEN LIGHT ON STEADY –When the green light stops flashing  and burns steady, the charge is complete and the battery can be returned to service if necessary. It can also stay connected to maintain the battery for an indefinite period of time
