CHARGING YOUR VEHICLE
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous. It contains sulfuric acid. Avoid
contact with skin eyes or clothing. Wear
rubber gloves and safety glasses while
servicing batteries. DO NOT INGEST! This
may result in severe bodily injury.
Signet Charger Operation, Model HB Series
The Signet
®
HB series chargers use a semi-
automatic charging system. The charger will turn itself
ON when the AC power
cord is connected to the
AC power source and
turn itself OFF when the
batteries are fully
charged. Refer to the
data plate on the
charger for the voltage
and type power required for the charger.
There is a series of LED’s on the faceplate of the
charger that serve two functions:
1. Status of charge. The LED’s will display an
approximate percent of charge during the charging
cycle. Refer to the table below.
2. Error condition. All three
LED’s flashing is an
indication of a charging
problem (charger will also
be beeping). Refer to the
Charger Troubleshooting
section for information on
error codes.

Signet Charger Operation, Model HBS series
The Signet
®
HBS series chargers
are fully automatic. The charger
will turn itself ON when the AC
power cord is connected to the
AC power source and turn itself
OFF when the batteries are fully
charged. Once the charge cycle
is complete, the charger will
continue to monitor the batteries.
If the battery voltage drops during
storage, the charger will start a
new cycle to keep the batteries
fully charged.
NOTE: If the charger restarts during a short time period of
storage, then it would be an indication of faulty
batteries.
Refer to the data plate on the charger for the voltage and type
power required for the charger.
There is a series of LED’s on the faceplate of the charger that
serve two functions:
1. Status of charge. The STATUS LED’s will display an
approximate percent of charge during the charging
cycle. Refer to the table below.
2. Error condition. The FAULT LED flashing is an indication
of a charging problem (charger may also be beeping).
Refer to the Charger
Troubleshooting
section for information
on error codes.

The key switch must be in the “OFF” position
when charging the batteries. Failure to turn
the key switch “OFF” may result in damage to
the vehicles electrical system.
Explosive mixtures of Hydrogen gas are
present within battery cells at all times. Do
not work with or charge battery in an area
where open flames (including gas furnace
or water heater pilots), sparks, cigarettes,
or any other sources of combustion are
present. Always provide ample ventilation
in rooms where batteries are being charged.
Failure to do so may result in severe bodily
injury and/or property damage.
