10. WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.

    • WORKING IN VICINITY OF A 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 reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
      PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

    • Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work near a battery.

    • Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

    • Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.

    • If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.

    • NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.

    • Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.

    • Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a battery. A battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

    • Use charger for charging STANDARD/AGM/Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system. Do not use battery charger for charging non-rechargeable batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.

    •  NEVER charge a frozen battery.

11. PREPARING TO CHARGE

    • If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
    • Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged.
    • Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
    • Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, such as valve regulated lead acid batteries, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions.
    • Study all battery manufacturers specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.

12. CHARGER LOCATION

    • Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables permit.
    • Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases from battery will corrode and damage charger.
    • Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery.
    • Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
    • Do not set a battery on top of charger.

13. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS

    • Connect and disconnect dc output rings only after setting any charger switches to
    • ” off ” position and removing ac cord from electric outlet. Never allow clips to touch each other.
    • Attach rings to battery and chassis as indicated in 15(e), 15(f), and 16(b) through 16(d).
    • Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte specific gravity or filling battery.
    • Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
    • Do not set a battery on top of charger.

14. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:

    • Position ac and dc cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door, or moving engine part.
    • Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
    • Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N,–) post.
    • Determine which post of battery is grounded (connected) to the chassis. If negative post is grounded to chassis (as in most vehicles), see (e). If positive post is grounded to the chassis, see (f).
    • For negative-grounded vehicle, connect POSITIVE (RED) ring from battery charger to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) ungrounded post of battery first. Then connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) ring to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect clip to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
    • For positive-grounded vehicle, connect NEGATIVE (BLACK) ring from battery charger to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) ungrounded post of battery first. Then connect POSITIVE (RED) clip to vehicle chassis or engine block away from battery. Do not connect ring to carburetor, fuel lines, or sheet-metal body parts. Connect to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
    • When disconnecting charger, turn switches to off, disconnect AC cord, remove ring from vehicle chassis, and then remove ring from battery terminal.
    • See operating instructions for length of charge information.

15. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR BATTERY:

    • Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) post.
    • Attach at least a 24-inch-long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
    • 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.

QUICK SETUP GUIDE

• CONNECT CHARGER TO A/C POWER
• PRESS THE SELECT BUTTON TO CHOOSE CORRECT BATTERY TYPE

QUICK GUIDE ERROR CLEARANCE

After initial setup if any errors occur (See Instruction Manual). The unit is able to be cleared of any errors by disconnecting from the battery and holding down the chemistry SELECT button for 5 seconds of the errored channel OR unplugging the charger from AC power and waiting for all of the LED’s to extinguish which could take up to two minutes.

OPERATING INSTUCTIONS

• CHARGER
  The Battery Charger has either 2, 3 or 4 charging ports. Each one of these ports is totally independent of all others when it comes to charging and maintaining the battery that it is connected to.

MOUNTING SLOTS/HOLE

FUSE REPLACEMENT/TYPE

Connecting to the AC and a Battery

1. When the charger is connected to the AC all the LED’s will illuminate for about two seconds. Then the 25% AMBER state of charge (SOC) LED will flash, and one of the three battery chemistry GREEN LED’s will be solid.
2. Connect to AC power. Before connecting to a battery use the SELECT button to choose the correct battery chemistry that matches the battery you are about to charge. Once the charger is connected to a battery the battery chemistry cannot be changed unless it is disconnected from the battery.
3. Then connect the positive (+) RED ring terminal first followed by the negative (-) BLACK ring terminal to the battery.
4. The AMBER state of charge (SOC) 25% LED should then turn solid.
5. As the battery charges it will proceed through the 50% then 75%state of charge LED’S until the 100% state of charge (SOC) LED turns solid GREEN. If you have a large load or draw on the battery it may never reach 100%.

Battery Chemistry Selection Button

1. The Battery Tender® charger has a “SELECT” button for each channel which allows you to switch between charging a 12-volt Standard or 12-volt AGM battery or a 12-volt Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery.
   Note : For Lithium chemistry compatibility, this charger will only charge 12-volt rated Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries.

2. Connect to AC power. Before connecting to a battery use the SELECT button to choose the correct battery chemistry that matches the battery you are about to charge. Once the charger is connected to a battery the battery chemistry cannot be changed unless it is disconnected from the battery.

3. If the AC power is interrupted, all charger channels connected to batteries will resume charging with the last battery chemistry setting used once power is restored.

4. The unit is able to be cleared of any errors by disconnecting from the battery and holding down the chemistry SELECT button for 5 seconds OR unplugging from AC power and waiting for all of the LED’s to extinguish which should take around two minutes.

12V LITHIUM Recovery Mode
If you try to charge a dead 12-volt Lithium Iron Phosphate battery (LiFePO4) with a very low voltage, 4 to 8 Volts, the charger will automatically switch into the Recovery Mode. When in  this mode, the 12V Lithium GREEN LED will flash and the and the state of charge (SOC) 25% AMBER LED will be solid. If battery recovery is successful, the charger will automatically switch back to the normal charge cycle. There is a three (3) hour time limit for this recovery process. If not successful, the state of charge (SOC) 25% AMBER LED and the the state of charge (SOC) 100% GREEN LED will toggle back and forth. The unit is able to be cleared of any errors by disconnecting from the battery and holding down the chemistry SELECT button of the errored channel for 5 seconds OR unplugging from AC power and waiting for all of the LED’s to extinguish which should take around two minutes.
If this happens, there is a good chance that the battery has already been damaged due to the low voltage and cannot be recovered.

Battery Safety Timer

1. The charger has a safety timer fault that will activate if the battery does not reach its optimal voltage. If this occurs the battery may be defective; take the battery to the dealer to be tested. If not successful, the state of charge (SOC) 25% AMBER LED and the the state of charge (SOC) 100% GREEN LED will toggle back and forth.
2. The unit is able to be cleared of any errors by disconnecting from the battery and holding down the chemistry SELECT button for 5 seconds OR unplugging from AC power and waiting for all of the LED’s to extinguish which should take around two minutes.

Automatic Charging and Battery Status Monitoring

Battery Tender® chargers are completely automatic and may be left connected to both AC power and to the batteries being charged for long periods of time. The output power, voltage, and current of each channel depends on the condition of the battery it is charging. Battery Tender® chargers have several status LED indicators that provide a visual means to determine the operating mode of the charger and, hence, the condition of the battery connected to the charger.

1. Qualification/Initialization mode- The Monitor Circuit verifies appropriate battery voltage levels and good electrical continuity between the battery and the charger DC output.
2. Bulk mode- (full charge, constant current, battery is 0% to 80%charged)
3. Absorption mode- (high constant voltage, battery is 80% to 100%charged).
4.  Storage/float maintenance mode- (low constant voltage, battery is 100% to 103% charged).

When the battery is fully charged, the state of charge (SOC) 100% GREEN LED will turn solid GREEN and the charger will switch to a storage/float maintenance charge mode. The Battery Tender® charger will automatically monitor and maintain the battery at full charge.

Attention:
The Battery Tender® Charger Has Spark Free Circuitry

• The Battery Tender® charger will not produce an output voltage until it senses at least 2 volts from a 12V STADARD/AGM Lead acid battery or 4 volts from a 12V Lithium Iron Phosphate battery. It must also be connected to a battery with the correct polarity before it will start charging. Therefore, if the ring terminas incidentally comes in contact with one another, there will be no electrical spark.
• NOTE:
  THE OUTPUT CLIPS MUST BE CONNECTED TO A BATTERY BEFORE THE CHARGER CAN PRODUCE AN OUTPUT VOLTAGE.

Time Required to Charge a Battery
The Battery Tender® charges at a rate of 10 Amps or 10 Amp-hours per hour. Therefore, a fully discharged 50 Amp-Hour battery will take approximately 4 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 2 volts from a STANDARD/AGM Lead-acid battery or 4 volts from a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery, the Battery Tender® charger will not start. An internal safety circuit prevents the charger from generating any output voltage unless it senses at least 2 volts from a STANDARD/AGM Lead-acid battery or 4 volts from a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery at the charger output.
• 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
