Explosion Hazard
Batteries can burst if treated improperly. Follow these
precautions at all times:
Clean battery contacts before servicing. To clean battery
contacts, use a lint-free cotton swab dipped in 100%
isopropyl alcohol.
Ensure the battery is making a good connection with the
adapter contacts.
Ensure that the selected C-Code is correct for the
chemistry, voltage, and rating of the battery being
serviced.
Observe battery temperature. Service batteries between
5°C (41°F) and 50°C (122° F). Stop service if battery
becomes very hot. The temperatures cited here are the
battery temperatures, not the ambient temperatures. Fast
charging outside this temperature range may damage or
reduce the life of the battery. Allow cold batteries to warm
up and hot batteries to cool before charging.

batteries such as alkaline, carbon-zinc, or non-rechargeable
lithium batteries.

Do not short the positive and negative battery terminals
together at any time.
x
Do not exceed the battery manufacturer’s recommended
charge current and voltage limits for batteries.
