Default Re: Charging the Battery

Hook the clamps to the respected posts. Positive is red and negative is black or "+" and "-". If the battery is real dead use 10 amps for a hour or so. If you want to leave it on overhight use the 2 amp setting.

Be careful of sparks when hooking up the clamps. Batteries put out Hydrogen gas, which is VERY explosive. So no sparks around the top of the battery.

You can charge the battery in the car, or take it out if you so please.
