Detailed Operation Instructions
Model 12248
After carefully reading and understanding the Safety
Instructions contained in this manual (pages 3 to 7) and having
evaluated your battery as described in Qualifying Your Battery
(pages 8 to 10) you are properly prepared to begin using your
charger.
1. Attach output cord of charger to either the Battery Clip(s)
Assembly (BCA) (supplied) or the Ring Terminal Assembly
(RTA) (supplied) depending on your preference. However
never use both assemblies at the same time for any reason
whatsoever. Never use either of these assemblies on any other
charger or for any other purpose such as improvised “jumper
cables”, etc. Using the RTA on batteries remaining in their
normal use location (in same place they are regularly installed
will normally prove the safest and most convenient. If you have
several applications you may wish to purchase additional Ring
Terminal Assemblies (RTA) available from your dealer or VDC
Electronics, Inc. directly.
Note: this assembly contains a 15 Amp automotive type fuse
and is replaceable should for any reason it were to blow. Never
replace this fuse with any type whose rating is higher than 15
Amps, as seriously harmful results may occur.
2. Identify the positive and negative posts or connections
on your battery, usually clearly designated with the polarity
markings of + (positive) and – (negative). If you have previously
installed the RTA referred to in 1. above, you need only to
press the connector plug of the charger’s output cord into
