Charge Battery
Before You Start
Electronic components can be easily damaged by electrical surges. Jump starting can damage electronics
and electrical systems, and is not recommended. Try to charge the battery instead. Use quality large
diameter jumper cables capable of carrying high currents (400 amps or more). Cheap cables may not allow
enough current flow to charge a dead/discharged battery.
Read all steps thoroughly and review illustration before performing procedure.
Explosion possible. Serious injury or equipment damage could occur.
Follow directions carefully.
To help avoid injury:
• Use a single 12V maximum source for charging. Do not connect to rapid chargers or dual batteries.
• Use caution and wear personal protective equipment such as safety eyewear, when charging or
cleaning battery.
• Keep sparks, flames, and any ignition source away from batteries at all times. Internal contents are
extremely hazardous. Leaking fluid is corrosive. Battery may be explosive at higher temperatures.
• NEVER lean over battery when making connections.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch when charging.
• Do not attempt to charge a battery that is leaking, bulging, heavily corroded, frozen, or otherwise
damaged.
