Connecting the Maintainer and Maintaining the Battery with the DC Accessory Plug
The charger’s output leads also contain a DC accessory plug (Figure 4).
Note: ALWAYS disconnect the AC power cord from the AC power outlet before connecting (or
disconnecting) the charger to (or from) the battery.
1. Slide the Voltage Selector switch to 6v or 12v.
2. Insert the DC plug into the vehicle’s DC accessory outlet.
3. Insert the AC plug of the charger into any standard 110/120 volt AC wall outlet.
Note: Some vehicles require that the ignition be turned to the ACC (accessory) position to activate the DC accessory
outlet. If your vehicle ignition is required to be turned to the ACC
position, be sure all the vehicle accessories (i.e. heater, fan, radio, TV, lights... etc) are turned off. If not turned
off, the maintainer might not be able to maintain the battery.

With proper care and minimal maintenance, the Automatic Battery Maintainer will provide years of dependable
service. For maximum performance, manufacturer recommends:
1. Storing the unit in a clean, dry, cool place when not in use.
2. Cleaning the unit casing and cords (as necessary) with a dry (or slightly damp) cloth. Ensure that unit is
completely disconnected from battery and power source, before cleaning.
3. To maintain the operating condition and maximize the life of the charger cords, always coil them loosely for
storage. Do not wrap them around the unit or crimp them with a tight band.
