must be installed so that the air can circulate freely.
• Do not plug more than one charger into a power strip! It may produce acute danger of
line congestion and consequently fire!
• The charger has to be connected to a 12 V or 24 V car battery or to a suitable stabilized
power supply with 11 ... 28 V DC output. Never connect an AC voltage on the DC input!
There is a serious risk of fire!
• No change-ups may be performed.
•
The charger and the battery to charge must be placed during operation on a non-flam
-
mable, heat-resistant and electrically non-conductive pad! Do not place directly on car
seats, carpets or similar! Also flammable or highly flammable materials must be placed

• Connect only a battery that has to be charged to respective charging port.
• The following batteries must not be connected to the charger:
○
NiCd / NiMH batteries with more than 16 cells, LiFe / Li-Ion / LiPo batteries with more
than 8 cells, lead-acid batteries with more than 12 cells.
○
Batteries which require a different charge method from NiCd, NiMH, lithium or lead-ac-
id batteries.
○
Defects and / or damaged cells or batteries.
○
Batteries connected in parallel or with different cells.
○
Mixed batteries with old and new cells, or cells with different features.
