2.2.16.1 Battery and Charger
A battery charger is used to charge the battery from an external power
source. Caution should be used when charging battery. Batteries
produce explosive gas during normal operation. Do not smoke or have
sparks or open flames near battery compartment. Batteries contain
sulfuric acid which can cause severe burns and blindness if exposed to
skin or eyes. Always use eye and skin protection when working around
batteries. If you are exposed to the acid, flush with water for 15 minutes
and get prompt medical attention.
The charger must be properly connected to 120 Volt outlet to charge
your battery safely. Make sure that the connections to the battery are
tight. Connect to your trailer using a grounded extension cord designed
for outdoor use. Plug into a “GFI” ( Ground Fault Interrupted )
receptacle to prevent possible shock.
