If it is necessary to remove the battery prior to charging, always
remove the grounded terminal first. Ensure all electrical accessories
are off prior to charging.
It is best to clean the battery terminals prior to charging. Using a
battery terminal brush is a good way to remove corrosion.
When charging a lead-acid battery that is not sealed, it may be
necessary to add distilled water into battery so the battery acid
solution reaches the level as specified by manufacturer. Be careful
not to overfill the battery.
Read individual precautions and warnings outlined by the battery
manufacturer relative to charging / maintaining. Ensure that charger
clips make a tight connection.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery
or engine. Use charger for charging LEAD-ACID batteries only.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
