Instruction Manual

Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Required Safety Instructions
1. Do not expose charger to rain or snow. It is designed to operate ONLY
INDOORS
2. Use of any attachment not specifically recommended by the battery charger
manufacturer for use with this exact model of charger may result in risk of fire
and electric shock or injury to person.
3. An extension cord should not be used, unless absolutely necessary. Use of an
improper extension cord could result in fire or electric shock. If extension cord
must be used be sure:
a) Pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, & shape of
plug on charger.
b) Extension cord is properly wired and in good condition.
c) Wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charge as specified
below: Length of cord, feet (meters) 25 (7.6) 60 (15.2), use size 18; 100
(30.5) or more, use size 16.
4. Do not use charger if it received a sharp blow, been dropped, or damaged in
any way.
5. Charger contains no serviceable parts. If it fails for any reason, return to the
address shown within for a free replacement under warranty.
6. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning.
7. WARNING: Risk of explosive gases. Whenever you work near a lead acid bat-
tery it is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery
operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance that each time before
using your charger, you read this manual and follow the instructions exactly. To
reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published
by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of any equipment you plan
to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary markings on the prod-
ucts and the engine.
8. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: When working with/near a lead acid battery.
a) Someone should be in range of your voice or close enough to come to
your aid when you work near a lead acid battery.
b) Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contact skin, cloth-
ing, or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes
while working near battery.
d) If battery acid does contact skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If acid entered the eye, immediately flood the eye with running
water for at least 10 minutes and get help immediately.
e) Never smoke or allow a spark of flame near battery or engine.
f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool or auto part onto
battery. It might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical part that
may cause an explosion.

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution
Red light is not on If the red Indicator light does not come on
when you plug the BatteryMINDer into an
AC outlet, check that the outlet is
switched on. If the light still does not
come on, the BatteryMINDer might have
failed.
Green light is not on If the solid green indicator light does not
come on, you have not made a proper
connection to the battery. The green light
lights up even before you have plugged
the unit into an electrical outlet.
Green light is not blinking
If the green indicator light does not start
blinking within 72 hours, the unit was not
able to bring the battery to full charge.
The unit is designed to automatically go
into the maintenance mode when it
reached 14 volts. To start the mainte-
nance mode manually, lightly touch the
Desulphation button. Note that the failure
to press the Desulphation button if the
green light does not blink within 72 hours
may lead to unit burn-out or battery dam-
age and void your warranty.
I don't think that the
BatteryMINDer is working
properly
The BatteryMINDer will not start if the
voltage in the battery is lower than 11
volts in a 12 volt battery. The lights will
come on, though. Test it on your car bat-
tery. Green light should start blinking after
a short period of time. Test the battery
with a voltmeter. It should read around 13
volt DC when the BatteryMINDer is
running. Also, the unit will feel warm to
touch when it is working.
