INTRODUCTION continuation tabs Questions? Contact us 1-888-942-6686 warnings notes The MotoMaster ® Simple Series Battery Chargers feature advanced technology that makes battery charging faster, easier, and safer while helping to maximize the performance and life of your batteries.
®/MD To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk. PERSONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. Consider having someone close by to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
Questions? Contact us 1-888-942-6686 AC ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS PLUGGING CHARGER IN Your charger requires a 120 V AC electrical wall outlet receptacle installed according to local codes and ordinances. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure: The pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug on charger.
®/MD PREPARING TO CHARGE If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off so as not to cause an arc. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
CONNECTING YOUR BATTERY FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE WARNING: A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY: Position AC and DC cords to reduce risk of damage by hood, door or moving engine part. Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons. continuation tabs Check polarity of battery posts.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS OUTSIDE VEHICLE WARNING: A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY: Check polarity of battery posts. POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post. Attach at least a 24" (61 cm) 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
CONTROLS AND INDICATORS Questions? Contact us 1-888-942-6686 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS Model no. 011-1963-6 (12 V 0.8 A) A A. Charge Status/ Fault Indicator This battery charger features a single LED to indicate charging status and faults: LED Status Explanation Green (flashing) Charging Green (solid) Charged/Maintaining Amber (solid) Power ON but no battery detected. Check to ensure that clamp connections to the battery posts are clean and solid.
Amber (solid) Power ON but no battery detected. Check to ensure that clamp connections to the battery posts are clean and solid. If connections are good, the battery is severely discharged (<1.5 V) and may be unsafe to charge. The battery should be tested or replaced. Red (flashing) Fault /error. Charging aborted due to some abnormality detected such as a defective battery or short circuit (see Troubleshooting). Red (solid) Reverse polarity. Reverse clamp connections.

®/MD UNDERSTANDING FACTORS THAT AFFECT CHARGING TIME The time it takes to fully recharge a battery depends on several factors including: 1. Battery Depth of Discharge The greater the depth of discharge, the longer it will take to fully charge a battery. For example, a battery discharged to a level of 50% will take about twice as long to fully charge than a battery discharged only 25%. 2.
UNDERSTANDING THE MULTI-STAGE CHARGING PROCESS 14 Questions? Contact us 1-888-942-6686 UNDERSTANDING THE MULTI-STAGE CHARGING PROCESS * * * * STAGE 1 DESULPHATION* Pulses of voltage and current help recover sulphated or deeply discharged batteries. STAGE 2 SOFT START* (excluding model no. 011-1963-6 (12 V 0.8 A)) Gently introduces current to condition deeply discharged batteries and prevent overheating that could damage the battery.
®/MD TROUBLESHOOTING Cause Solution Loose connection at AC outlet Check connection. No AC power at outlet Ensure power is present at AC outlet by plugging in a different appliance. Poor clamp connection to battery posts Check clamp connection. Ensure battery posts are clean and rock clamps back and forth to ensure a good connection. Amber (solid) fault LED is illuminated Battery voltage is too low (<1.5 V) to activate the charger Check battery voltage with a volt meter. If less than 1.
