WARRANTY AND SERVICE INFORMATION

Warranty and service claims sent to the Auto Meter service department must be transportation prepaid and accompanied with dated proof of purchase. This warranty

applies only to the original retail purchaser and is non-transferable. Damage incurred during return shipments are not covered under this warranty. It is the responsibility

of the shipper (the original retail purchaser returning the Battery Extender) to package the tester properly to prevent any damage during return shipment. Repair costs

for such damages will be charged back to shipper (original retail purchaser returning Battery Extender). Protect the product and add plenty of packing/cushioning such

as crumpled up newspaper.

MOUNTING

Mounting key holes are provided on both end caps of the unit. It is

recommended that you mount the Battery Extender to a wall or other

secure surface. This will keep it out of the way and prevent damage

due to accidents. You may leave the screws slightly loose to allow easy

removal through the key hole slot.

IMPORTANT!

A clean battery and battery terminals insure proper operation of the

Battery Extender and the vehicle charging system. Dirty terminals may

put a constant slow drain on the battery. If your battery and terminals

have a white or blueish crust on them, your charging system may be

having problems. Have the vehicle electrical system checked by a

qualified automotive service technician.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Always keep your Battery Extender clean and looking like new! Unplug

the Battery Extender, and use a slightly dampened cloth to clean the

housing and lead sets. Use no solvents or soaps.

OVERLOAD AND PROTECTIVE DEVICES

The Battery Extender is equipped with two overload protectors. In the

event of minor overloads, power will be reduced to a safe level to allow

continued use in maintenance mode only. The second protector will

activate in the event of major overload and completely turn the unit

off. The second protector is permanent and must be repaired at the

factory.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR BATTERY EXTENDER!

MAXIMIZES BATTERY LIFE

The Battery Extender is designed to maximize the life of a serviceable

lead acid battery. A serviceable battery is a battery that is not defective

or damaged. This means a vehicle battery will not give you the annual

dead battery surprise when it comes out of storage!

PREVENTS PREMATURE BATTERY FAILURE

The Battery Extender keeps your battery at full charge on a

continuous basis. Batteries not kept at a full charge become sulfated,

which is the main reason for premature battery failure.

MAINTAINS STORED BATTERIES AT FULL CHARGE

The Battery Extender should be used to charge and maintain all

starting and deep cycle batteries in storage or that don’t receive daily

use. Some examples are: automobiles, boats, race cars, campers,

RV’s, 4 wheelers, motorcycles, personal water craft, farm machinery

(tractors, combines, etc.), heavy equipment, rental equipment (trucks,

compressors, portable signs, bulldozers, stationary pumps, etc.),

and any equipment that receives occasional use or is in storage.

The Battery Extender is also fully compatible with gelled electrolyte

(gel-cell) batteries (sometimes used in place of liquid electrolyte

batteries in many heavy duty applications). (DO NOT USE WITH DRY

CELL, NICKLE CADMIUM, NICKLE METAL HYDRIDE OR SIMILAR

BATTERIES. Refer to the enclosed instructions.)

NOTE: Never use the Battery Extender in a boat or water craft.

Always remove the battery from the boat or water craft and

use the Battery Extender on shore.

VALUABLE PROTECTION

The Battery Extender provides full off-season protection for seasonally

used batteries. It keeps your stored batteries ready for their next use.

This means a serviceable battery will not give the annual dead battery

surprise when it comes out of storage!

PROTECTION FROM COMPUTER DRAIN

Cars are often equipped with computers that require continuous

battery power to maintain data in memory. The Battery Extender’s

superior circuitry automatically delivers the correct charge to

compensate.

LONG LASTING PERFORMANCE

The Battery Extender has been designed and manufactured in America

to provide superior performance from the High Tech housing to the

last internal detail. Quality is built in and assured with circuit burn-in,

computerized testing and inspection. Care in handling and occasional

cleaning of the leads and housing will help keep it looking like new, and

give you many years of satisfaction.

Checks Each Battery’s Condition

The Battery Extender will determine the worst batteries that are

sulfated and that have bad cells. The battery can be replaced without

unnecessary charging.

Battery Warmer

The Battery Extender will keep a battery warm and ready for full use on

cold days.

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
