BEFORE YOU CHARGE
Any time you charge your battery, whether you’re following the instructions in
“Ba
lancing the
battery”
on the next page or
“Routine charging procedure”
on the next page make sure you
first check the battery, charger, and electrical cables for signs of damage, and follow the
guidelines below.
CHARGE IN A SAFE, APPROPRIATE LOCATION
Store and use the charger in a safe place
—
away from children, direct sunlight, dirt, debris,
tripping hazards (including electrical cords), or any materials that could ignite in the unlikely
event of a charger or battery malfunction. Position the charger and battery where they are
not at risk for falls or other impacts.
WARNING
Letting the charger’s plug contact metal objects could cause a power discharge (a spark),
which could injure you or create a fire hazard.
WARNING
Letting a battery charge unattended increases the risk that a charging problem will go
undetected and lead to component damage or a fire hazard. Always charge your battery
where you can monitor it.
