PREPARING TO CHARGE
RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID
IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
3.1
If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to
charge it, always remove the grounded terminal first. Make sure
all of the accessories in the vehicle are off to prevent arcing.
3.2
Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated
while the battery is being charged.
Clean the battery terminals before charging the battery. During cleaning, keep airborne
corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes, nose and mouth. Use baking soda
and water to neutralize the battery acid and help eliminate airborne corrosion. Do not
touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
Add distilled water to each cell until the battery acid reaches the level specified by the
battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, such
as valve regulated lead acid batteries (VRLA), carefully follow the manufacturers
recharging instructions.

Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger, battery, vehicle and any
equipment used near the battery and charger. Study all of the battery manufacturers
specific precautions while charging and recommended rates of charge.
Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owners manual and
make sure that the output voltage selector switch is set to the correct voltage. If the
charger has an adjustable charge rate, charge the battery in the lowest rate first.
Make sure that the charger cable clips make tight connections.
CHARGER LOCATION
RISK OF EXPLOSION AND CONTACT WITH
BATTERY ACID.
4.1
Locate the charger as far away from the
battery as the DC cables permit.
4.2
Never place the charger directly above
the battery being charged; gases from the
battery will corrode and damage the charger.
Do not set the battery on top of the charger.
Never allow battery acid to drip onto the charger when reading the electrolyte specific
gravity or filling the battery.
Do not operate the charger in a closed-in area or restrict the ventilation in any way.
DC CONNECTION PRECAUTIONS
Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only after setting all of the charger switches
to the off position (if applicable) and removing the AC plug from the electrical outlet.
Never allow the clips to touch each other.
Attach the clips to the battery and chassis, as indicated in sections 6 and 7.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE
A BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
6.1 Position the AC and DC cables to
reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door
and moving or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is
necessary to close the hood during the charging process, ensure that the hood does not
touch the metal part of the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.
Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that can cause injury.
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery post usually
has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Determine which post of the battery is
grounded (connected) to the chassis (vehicle
frame). If the negative post is grounded to
the chassis (as in most vehicles), see step
6.5. If the positive post is grounded to the
chassis, see step 6.6.
For a negative-grounded vehicle, connect
the POSITIVE (RED) clip from the battery
charger to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +)
ungrounded post of the battery. Connect
the NEGATIVE (BLACK) clip to the vehicle
frame or engine block at a distance away
from the battery. Do not connect the clip to
the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body

Digital Display
The Digital Display gives a digital indication of voltage of the battery, % of charge of the
battery or % of charging output of the alternator, depending on the Display Mode chosen.
Display Mode Button
Use this button to set the function of the digital display to one of the following:
Battery % The digital display shows an estimated charge percentage of the battery
connected to the charger battery clips. The percent indicated is an estimate based on
the present battery voltage. Connecting and reconnecting a battery during charging
or after charging is complete will cause the charger to recalculate the percentage and
may display a different percentage than was previously indicated.
Voltage The digital display shows the voltage at the charger battery clips in DC
volts. Keep in mind that this reading is only a battery voltage reading, and a false
surface charge may mislead you. We suggest that you turn on the headlights for a
couple of minutes before you read the meter. Read it a couple of minutes after you
have shut the headlights off. If the reading is less than 10.5 volts (5.2 volts for 6V
battery), the battery may be bad or the connection at the charger may be poor. If the
reading is 10.5 volts to 12.8 volts (5.2 volts to 6.4 volts for 6V battery), the battery
is low recharge it. If the reading is above 12.8 volts (6.4 volts for 6V battery) the
battery is charged. NOTE: The voltage display is not available during charging, and
the digital display will default to BATTERY %.
Alternator % The digital display shows an estimated output percentage of the
vehicles charging system connected to the charger battery clips as compared to a
properly functioning system. The alternator percent range is from 0 to 100%. Readings
below 0 (13.2 volts) will read LO and readings above 100% (14.6 volts) will read
HI. If you get a HI or LO reading, have the electrical system checked by a qualified
technician. The percent indicated is an estimate based on the present alternator output.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This battery charger must be properly assembled in accordance with
the assembly instructions before it is used.
The charger does not have an On/Off switch. The On and Off commands are controlled
by plugging the 71225 into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet only after the battery
connections have been made.
Charging
1. Ensure that all of the charger components are in place and in good working
condition, for example, the plastic boots on the battery clips.
2. Connect the battery following the precautions listed in sections 6 and 7.
3. Connect the AC power, following the precautions listed in section 8.
4. Select the appropriate settings for your battery.
NOTE: This charger is equipped with an auto-start feature. It will not supply current to
the battery clips until a battery is properly connected. Meaning, the clips will not spark if
touched together.
Battery Connection Indicator
If the charger does not detect a properly connected battery, the CHECK (red) LED will
light. Charging will not begin if the CHECK (red) LED is on.
Automatic Charging Mode
When an Automatic Charge is performed, the charger switches to the Maintain Mode
(see below) automatically after the battery is charged. For a battery with a starting
voltage under 0.1 volt, the charger will not recognize that the battery is connected and
the CHECK (red) LED will stay lit. In order to charge the battery, use a manual charger
to pre-charge the battery for five minutes to get additional voltage into the battery.
Aborted Charge
If charging cannot be completed normally, charging will abort. When charging aborts,
the chargers output is shut off, the CHECK (red) LED will blink and the digital display
will show a failure code (see the TROUBLESHOOTING section for a description of the
failure codes). In that state, the charger ignores all buttons. To reset after an aborted
charge, unplug the charger, wait a few moments, then plug it back in.
Desulfation Mode
If the battery is left discharged for an extended period of time, it could become sulfated
and not accept a normal charge. If the charger detects a sulfated battery, the charger
will switch to a special mode of operation designed for such batteries. If successful,
normal charging will resume after the battery is desulfated. Desulfation could take 8 to
10 hours. If desulfation fails, charging will abort, the CHECK (red) LED will blink and the
digital display will show a failure code of F02 (bad battery).
Completion of Charge
Charge completion is indicated by the CHARGED (green) LED. When lit, the charger
has switched to the Maintain Mode of operation. If the 12V DEEP CYCLE battery type
was selected, the CHARGED (green) LED comes on when the battery is charged
enough for normal use.
Maintain Mode (Float-Mode Monitoring)
When the CHARGED (green) LED is lit, the charger has started Maintain Mode. In this
mode, the charger keeps the battery fully charged by delivering a small current when
necessary. The voltage is maintained at a level determined by the BATTERY
TYPE selected.
NOTE: The maintain mode technology utilized in DieHard chargers allows you to safely
charge and maintain a healthy battery for extended periods of time. However, problems
with the battery, electrical problems in the vehicle, improper connections or other
unanticipated conditions could cause excessive voltage draws. As such, occasionally
monitoring your battery and the charging process is recommended.
Using the Engine Start feature
Your battery charger can be used to jumpstart your car if the battery is low. Follow these
instructions on how to use the ENGINE START feature.
Follow all safety instructions and precautions for charging your battery.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Charge your battery in a wellventilated area.
Using the ENGINE START feature WITHOUT a battery installed in
the vehicle could cause damage to the vehicles electrical system. NOTE: If you have
charged the battery and it still will not start your car, do not use the engine start feature,
or it could damage the vehicles electrical system.
1. With the charger unplugged from the AC outlet, connect the charger to the battery
following the instructions given in section 6: FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN
BATTERY IS INSTALLED IN VEHICLE.
2. Plug the charger AC power cord into the AC outlet.
3. With the charger plugged in and connected to the battery of the vehicle, set the
charge rate selector button to the engine start position.
4. When the display shows rdy, crank the engine until it starts or 3 seconds pass. If
the engine does not start, wait 3 minutes until the display shows rdy before cranking
again. This allows the charger and battery to cool down.
NOTE: During extremely cold weather, or if the battery is under 2 volts, charge the
battery for 5 minutes before cranking the engine.
5. If the engine fails to start, charge the battery for 5 more minutes before attempting to
crank the engine again.
6. After the engine starts, unplug the AC power cord before disconnecting the battery
clips from the vehicle.
7. Clean and store the charger in a dry location.
NOTE: If the engine does turn over but never starts, there is not a problem with the
starting system; there is a problem somewhere else with the vehicle. STOP cranking the
engine until the other problem has been diagnosed and corrected.
Engine Starting Notes
During the starting sequence listed above, the charger is set to one of the following
three states:
Wait for cranking The charger waits until the engine is actually being cranked before
delivering the 80 amps for engine start. The charger delivers charge at a rate of up to 12
amps while waiting. While waiting for cranking, the digital display will show rdy.
Cranking When cranking is detected, the charger will automatically deliver up to its
maximum output as required by the starting system for up to 3 seconds or until the
engine cranking stops. The digital display shows a countdown of the remaining crank
time in seconds. It starts at 3 and counts down to 0.
7
Cool Down After cranking, the charger enters a mandatory 3 minute cool down state.
During this period, no settings can be changed. The buttons are ignored. The digital display
indicates the remaining cool down time in seconds. It starts at 180 and counts down to
0. During the cool down period, no current is delivered to the battery. After 3 minutes, the
digital display will change from displaying the countdown back to displaying rdy.
Using the Battery Voltage Tester
Overview
This battery charger has a built-in voltmeter to test your batterys state of charge. The
charger does not have a built in load tester. As such, a recently charged battery could
have a temporarily high voltage due to what is known as surface charge. The voltage
of such a battery will gradually drop during the period immediately after the charging
system is disengaged. Consequently, the tester could display inconsistent values for
such a battery. For a more accurate reading, the surface charge should be removed
by temporarily creating a load on the battery, such as by turning on lights or other
accessories for a couple of minutes before you read the display. Read it a couple of
minutes after you have shut the headlights off.
Testing Sequence: There are four basic steps required to test the battery state of charge:
1. With the charger unplugged from the AC outlet, connect the charger to the battery,
following the instructions given in sections 6 and 7.
2. Plug the charger AC power cord into the AC outlet, following the instructions given in
section 8.
3. If necessary, press the BATTERY TYPE button until the correct type is indicated.
4. Read the voltage on the digital display or press the Display Mode button to set the
tester to BATTERY % to read the voltage as a percent of charge.
Tester and Charger: When first turned on, the unit operates only as a tester, not as
a charger. To continue to use it only as a tester, avoid pressing the CHARGE RATE
button. Selecting a charge rate activates the battery charger and deactivates the tester.
Pressing the CHARGE RATE button when the ENGINE START LED is lit (except during
the 180 second cool down) will shut off the charger and activate the tester.
Power-Up Idle Time Limit: If no button is pressed within 10 minutes after the battery
charger is first powered up, the charger will automatically switch from tester to charger if
a battery is connected.
Tester without Time Limit: If either the DISPLAY MODE or BATTERY TYPE button is
pressed within the first 10 minutes after the battery charger is powered up, the unit will
remain a tester (not a charger) indefinitely, unless a charge rate is selected.
Testing After Charging: After the unit has been changed from tester to charger (by
selecting a charge rate), it remains a charger. To change the battery charger back to a
tester, press the CHARGE RATE switch until all charge rate LEDs are off.
Using the Alternator Performance Tester
Overview
This battery charger has a built-in alternator tester that displays an estimate of the
alternators relative output compared to normal alternators. The alternator % values
displayed should be taken as a general reference, not a precise diagnosis. The
alternator tester functions the same as the built-in battery voltage tester (see previous
section for details) with a few differences.
Testing Sequence: There are three basic steps required to operate this unit as an
alternator tester:
1. With the charger unplugged from the AC outlet, connect the charger to the battery,
following the instructions given in sections 6 and 7.
2. Plug the charger AC power cord into the AC outlet, following the instructions given in
section 8.
3. Start the vehicle and turn on the vehicles headlights. Read the voltage on the digital
display or press the DISPLAY MODE button to set the tester to ALTERNATOR % to
read the voltage as a percent of output.

4. Seleccione las configuraciones apropiadas para la batera.
NOTA: Este cargador est equipado con un auto-rectificador. Este no permitir paso de
corriente si las pinzas de la batera no estn conectadas en forma correcta. Significado,
las pinzas no harn corto si se juntan una con otra.
Indicador de conexin de la batera
Si el cargador no detecta una batera correctamente conectada, el LED rojo CHECK se
iluminar. La carga no comenzar mientras el LED (rojo) CHECK est encendido.
Modo de carga automtica
Cuando se realiza una carga automtica, el cargador cambia del Maintain Mode [Modo
de mantenimiento] (ver a continuacin) automticamente despus que la batera se
cargue. Para una batera con una tensin de inicio inferior a 0.1 voltio,el cargador
no detectar que la batera est conectada y el indicador CHECK LED permanecer
encendido. Para cargar la batera, Use el cargador manual para pre-cargar la bateras
por espacio de cinco minutos para incorporar voltaje adicional a la batera.
