Owners manual

For batteries installed in vehicles or other equipment we have provided
a lead set with ring terminals. Since many installed batteries are in
space-restricted locations or compartments, these ring terminals (see
illustration to left) have been designed to provide a safe and convenient
connection. Follow these steps for connection and operation:
1. Check that the Battery Extender is
NOT plugged in to an AC outlet
before connecting the ring terminals to the battery.
2. (Model 9202 only.) Set the 12/16 volt switch to the voltage rating of
the battery you are connecting to.
3. Locate the positive (+) terminal post of the battery, it is usually larger
than the negative (-) terminal post. Connect the RED (+) ring terminal
to this battery terminal.
4. Connect BLACK (-) ring terminal to negative (-) battery terminal.
5. Double check that the square two pin connector on the lead set is
firmly plugged into the square out put connector of the Battery
Extender (see illustration in "FOR USE WITH SPRING CLIPS").
6. Secure the lead set out of the way of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and hot
items like exhaust manifolds. Nylon ties work great in this situation.
7. Make sure the Battery Extender is safely located away from the
battery and in a nonhazardous location.
8. Plug the AC cord in to a grounded outlet.
9. (Model 9202 only.) For 16V batteries, the red 16V light should be ON.
If the light is OFF, check that the 12/16V switch is in the correct position.

NOTE: Smaller batteries may have screws for terminals (see
illustration to right). You may need to purchase smaller ring
terminals for these applications. Do not connect ring terminals
to anything but the battery. Other locations are hazardous.
WARNING: Do not use in 16V mode on a 12V battery.
Damage to your battery will occur.
FOR USE WITH PERMANENT RING TERMINALS
2. a) Disconnect the square
two pin output connector
for the ring terminal lead
set as shown.
b) For the spring clip lead
set, always disconnect
the BLACK (-) spring
clip first and the RED (+)
spring clip second.
3. If you accidentally disconnect
the Battery Extender from the
battery while it is in operation,
it will shut itself off in
approximately one second.
You must complete the
disconnection procedure after
this happens by performing
steps 1 and 2.
WARNING: Do not close hood, doors, or covers when using spring
clips on installed batteries. This can cause dangerous
high current shorting across the battery terminals.
FOR USE WITH BATTERY CLIPS ON INSTALLED BATTERIES
PROPER DISCONNECT PROCEDURE
You may use the spring clip lead set for installed batteries on a
temporary basis. However we do not recommend doing this for long
term connections. The clips can accidentally come in contact with
compartment covers, hoods and other items that may cause dangerous
high current shorts across the battery terminals. To temporarily connect
the spring clips to an installed battery, follow these steps:
1. Check that the Battery Extender is
NOT plugged in to an AC outlet
before connecting the spring clips to the battery.
2. (Model 9202 only.) Set the 12/16 volt switch to the voltage rating of
the battery you are connecting to.
3. Locate the positive (+) terminal post of the battery, it is usually larger
than the negative (-) terminal post. Connect the RED (+) spring clip
to this battery terminal post.
4. Connect the BLACK (-) spring clip to a bolt or screw on the chassis
or engine block. These should be heavy steel parts not sheet metal.
Do not connect to fuel lines, carburetor, or moving parts. Make the
connection as far from the battery as the leads allow.
5. Plug in the AC cord, and observe the indicator lights for operation.
6. (Model 9202 only.) For 16V batteries, the red 16V light should be ON.
If the light is OFF, check that the 12/16V switch is in the correct position.
1. Always disconnect the
AC extension cord first
(if used). Then unplug
the AC power cord of
the Battery
Extender.
