Exide Technologies is a manufacturer of batteries and battery charging equipment. The battery chargers made by Exide are capable of charging any car, boat or motorcycle battery. By slowly building up an electric current inside the dead battery cells, the battery charger is able to breathe new life into an old battery, so long as the battery is viable. Connecting and using an Exide battery charger is an easy process that requires no special skills or training.
Step 1
The G7200 is a portable and automatic battery charger. It can be used for both 12V and 24V lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. The G7200 is designed for charging cars, boats, RVs, SUVs, diesel trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, personal watercraft, lawn mowers, and much more.
Disconnect the battery from the engine. Use a 3/4-inch wrench to loosen the connections on the battery cables. Remove the red, positive battery cable first, then disconnect the black, negative cable. With both cables disconnected, lift the battery away and take it to an area where it can be connected to the Exide battery charger.
Step 2
Connect the charging cables to the battery. The Exide battery charger has two cables with large alligator clips at the end, similar to a set of automotive jumper cables. Connect the black clip to the negative terminal on the battery, then clip the red connector to the positive terminal on the battery.
Step 3
Select the proper volts/amps for the charge. The Exide battery charger has a 'Volt/Amp Selector' that lets you specify the size of the battery being charged so you can deliver the appropriate charge for either a large car battery or a smaller motorcycle battery. Turn the knob so that it points to the corresponding battery size.
Step 4
Plug the Exide battery charger into an electrical outlet and set the charge time. This will vary depending on the size of the battery and whether or not it has a partial charge. Typical charge times range from eight to 12 hours, although a car battery that is completely drained may require as much as 24 hours to receive a full charge. The battery charger has safeguards to prevent overcharging, so do not worry about the battery being charged prior to the charge time expiring.

Unplug the Exide battery charger from the wall and remove the clamps from the terminals. Return the battery to its original position on the engine and use a 3/4-inch wrench to tighten the cables on the battery terminals. Connect the negative cable first, then the positive.
Tip
- An Exide battery charger can recharge any battery brand, whether the battery is manufactured by Exide or by another company.

Duracell battery chargers can help you get the most out of your rechargeable batteries, but you need to use them properly in order to do so. Some Duracell charger models come equipped with a stock car adapter as well as the normal AC wall adapter, but if you've never used a Duracell charger before, it can be a bit confusing. Fortunately, with the right instructions, you can keep those digital gadgets powered without having to constantly buy new batteries.
Step 1
Put the Duracell NiMH batteries into each of the charging slots of the charger. Be sure only to use the correct size and type of batteries that the manual specifies for your particular charger.
Step 2
Plug the AC cable into an available wall outlet and then into the 12 V jack on top of the charger itself. You can also choose to use the car charger instead, but only use the one that was supplied originally. You will see that the charger indicator light has turned red, meaning that the batteries are being currently charged.
Step 3
Watch to see if the red indicator light begins to blink. This means that there is a problem with the batteries taking their charge. It may mean that the batteries are operating abnormally, or that there's an abnormal temperature reading. Either way, the batteries will most likely need to be replaced. If you happen to have a second charger, it may be a good idea to try to charge those batteries in the backup before throwing them out.
Wait for the indicator light to turn green, then remove the batteries and AC cable from the wall or car outlet. Your batteries will now be fully charged.
Warning
- Batteries that have been sitting for an extended period of time may require two or three charging attempts in order to get optimal results.
