Do not attempt to permanently
install unit not specifically designed-approved for permanent
installation, especially in a wet high moisture environment.
NOTE: Because some batteries are not easily accessible, for example
located in the wing, tail, under the seat or in a battery box, it is acceptable
to attach the positive alligator clip to the positive post of the battery
relay or solenoid that is directly connected to the positive terminal of the
battery and attach the negative alligator clip to a suitable aircraft ground
connection.
QUALIFYING YOUR BATTERY
Preliminary Requirements
NOTE: The BatteryMINDer has no electrical output unless it is
connected to a healthy battery.
Testing the BatteryMINDer with a
voltmeter without the unit being connected across a good battery will
result in a false reading. If you experience any problems, or are not
sure of how to properly use or connect your BatteryMINDer, please
e-mail our Tech Support Dept. at: [email protected]
or call our toll-free technical support line 800-379-5579 x206 (Eastern
Time) (USA & Canada ONLY).
Be certain to leave your phone
number with the area code, time zone and the best time to call.
To gain the best result from your unit and to maximize the life and
performance of your batteries we strongly recommend you qualify (test)
your batteries before attempting to either charge-maintain or desulfate
them. Remember, even if you just purchased a “new” battery it may have
been subjected to storage conditions that have caused “sulfation” such
as an extended period at high temperature (≥80°F).
NOTE: If your battery is new and you are certain it was not subject
to conditions that could have caused
sulfation*
, even before you
purchased it, then you can disregard our recommendations for
qualifying / testing your battery, before using the BatteryMINDer.
*Such as high temperature storage (≥80°F) and/or allowed to self-
discharge to 24.8 volts or lower.
