WARNING:
Wear proper eye, face and hand protection at all times when working with batteries. Know the
location and use of emergency eyewash and shower nearest the battery charging area.

CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the connector, arc burns, or explosion, batteries should never be
connected or disconnected while being charged or discharged. Batteries must be connected or disconnected
only when the circuit is open. Ensure the aircraft battery switch, external power source, or the
charger/analyzer is in the “OFF” position before connecting or disconnecting the battery. Battery terminal
protectors should be installed whenever the battery is not connected in the aircraft or to the test
equipment.

CAUTION:
Batteries contain hazardous materials. Know the location and proper use of emergency response
materials. Refer to battery Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for additional information.

Caution / Warning:
Only constant potential charging may be done on the aircraft. DO NOT constant current
charge a battery on the aircraft. There could be a serious risk of injury to personnel and / or damage to the
aircraft or aircraft systems due to high voltage and generation of explosive gases when charging constant
current.

DANGER:
Never connect or disconnect BC-7000 tester main power connector with the switch on. Connecting
or disconnecting the BC-7000 tester with discharge current applied can cause a spark and possible battery
explosion.
11
DANGER:
Never capacity test batteries without first inspecting all battery wires and connection for condition
and tightness. Replace all defective wires and bad connections before capacity testing batteries. Defective
wiring and bad connections can cause overheating during a capacity test.
12
DANGER:
never connect the BC-7000 capacity tester to batteries with voltage or capacity currents outside
the ratings of the tester. The BC-7000 tester is designed for 12 and 24 volt batteries. Connecting the tester to
batteries with different voltages can permanently damage the tester and endanger the operator. Any
questions that arise about the battery or tester ratings, email [email protected]
13
DANGER:
never obstruct the BC-7000 tester air intake or hot air exhaust openings. Obstructing either
opening can cause the tester to overheat.
