SAFETY
f) 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.
g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces,
and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid
battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a
ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
h) Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not
intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than
in a starter-motor application. Do not use battery charger for charging
dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances.
These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to
property.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
12. PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) 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.
b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being
charged.
c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in
contact with eyes.
d) 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.
e) Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions while charging
and recommended rates of charge.
f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s manual and
make sure that output voltage selector switch is set at correct voltage.
If charger has adjustable charge rate, charge battery initially at lowest
rate. (For BEX-5000 Only)
g) Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner’s manual and
make sure it matches output rating of battery charger.
(For BEX-1500 and BEX-3000 only)
13. CHARGER LOCATION
a) Locate charger as far away from battery as dc cables permit.
b) Never place charger directly above battery being charged; gases
from battery will corrode and damage charger.
c) Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when reading electrolyte
specific gravity or filling battery.
d) Do not operate charger in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in
any way.
e) Do not set a battery on top of charger.
14. DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
a) Connect and disconnect dc output clips only after setting any charger
switches to "off" position and removing ac cord from electric outlet.
Never allow clips to touch each other.
b) Attach clips to battery and chassis as indicated in 15(e), 15(f), and 16(b).

WHAT TO EXPECT
AVOID THE ANNUAL DEAD BATTERY
SURPRISE WHEN YOUR VEHICLE COMES OUT OF STORAGE.
MAXIMIZES BATTERY LIFE
The Battery Extender is designed to maximize the life of a
serviceable lead acid battery. A serviceable battery is a battery that is not
defective or damaged.
PREVENTS PREMATURE BATTERY FAILURE
The Battery Extender keeps your battery at full charge on a continuous basis.
Batteries not kept at a full charge become sulfated, which is the main reason for
premature battery failure.
MAINTAINS STORED BATTERIES AT FULL CHARGE
The Battery Extender should be used to charge and maintain all starting and
deep cycle batteries in storage or that don’t receive daily use. Some examples
are: automobiles, boats, race cars, campers, RV’s, 4 wheelers, motorcycles,
personal water craft, farm machinery (tractors, combines, etc.), heavy
equipment, rental equipment (trucks, compressors, portable signs, bulldozers,
stationary pumps, etc.), and any equipment that receives occasional use or is
in storage. The Battery Extender is also fully compatible with Standard, AGM,
and Gel Cell batteries. (DO NOT USE WITH DRY CELL, NICKLE CADMIUM,
NICKLE METAL HYDRIDE, LITHUM ION OR SIMILAR BATTERIES. Refer to
the enclosed instructions.)
NOTE: Never use the Battery Extender in a boat or water craft. Always remove
the battery from the boat or water craft and use the Battery Extender on
shore.
VALUABLE PROTECTION
The Battery Extender provides full off-season protection for seasonally used
batteries. It keeps your stored batteries ready for their next use.
PROTECTION FROM COMPUTER DRAIN
Cars are often equipped with computers that require continuous battery power to
maintain data in memory. The Battery Extender’s superior circuitry automatically
delivers the correct charge to compensate.
LONG LASTING PERFORMANCE
The Battery Extender has been designed and manufactured to provide superior
performance from the High Tech housing to the last internal detail. Quality is built
in and assured with circuit burn-in, computerized testing and inspection. Care in
handling and occasional cleaning of the leads and housing will help keep it looking
like new, and give you many years of satisfaction.
