To connect a battery charger to a battery, first, attach the positive cable to the positive terminal of the battery. Next, connect the negative cable to the negative terminal. Set the charger to the slowest charge rate, power it on, and start charging. Regularly check the charge for safety.
Start by placing the battery on a stable surface. Then, locate the positive and negative terminals on the battery. The positive terminal usually has a “+” symbol, while the negative terminal has a “–” symbol. Now, plug the charger into a power outlet.
Attach the charger’s red cable to the positive terminal of the battery. Make sure it’s secure. Next, connect the black cable to the negative terminal. It’s important to avoid confusion; incorrect connections can cause damage or pose safety risks.
Once the connections are secure, turn on the charger. Monitor the battery’s charging status if your charger has a display. When finished, turn off the charger before disconnecting the cables, reversing the order of connection.
