Smartech WBC-200 - Connecting the Charger to the Battery; Polarity and Grounding Identification; Connection Sequence Guidelines

USER’S MANUAL PAGE 14WBC-200
CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY
1. Identify polarity of battery posts. The positive battery terminal is typi-
cally marked by these letters or symbol (POS, P, +). The negative bat-
tery terminal is typically marked by these letters or symbol (NEG, N, -).
2. Do not make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin metal
parts.
3. Identify if you have a negative or positive grounded vehicle. This can
be done by identifying which battery post (NEG or POS) is connected
to the chassis.
4. For a negative grounded vehicle (most common): connect the RED
POSITIVE clamp rst to the positive battery terminal, then connect the
BLACK NEGATIVE clamp to the negative battery terminal or vehicle
chassis.
5. For a positive grounded vehicle (very uncommon): connect the BLACK
NEGATIVE clamp rst to the negative battery terminal, then connect
the RED POSITIVE clamp to the positive battery terminal or vehicle
chassis.
6. When disconnecting, disconnect in the reverse sequence, removing
the negative rst (or positive rst for positive ground systems).
7. A marine (boat) battery must be removed and charged on shore. To
charge it on board requires equipment specially designed for marine
use.
Times are based on a 50% discharged battery and may change, depending
on age and condition of battery.
