- Have you checked that all connections are firm and secure?
- Make sure there are no intermittent contacts at any point in the circuit.
Charging
Do not overcharge your battery by surpassing the manufactures recommend
maximum allowed charging C rate. If you charge too quickly this will cause the cell to
become damaged or catch fire.
Connect the battery to the terminal of the charger: red is the positive terminal and
black is the negative terminal. Due to possible differences in resistance of the
connectors and wires only use high-quality charge cables and charge harnesses
failure to do so may cause the charger to not function properly and may cause
damage.
Always refer to the battery manufacturers charge label about the charging method,
maximum charge rate and other important settings. Failure to incorrectly charge your
battery may result in fire or explosion.
Never attempt to charge or discharge the following types of batteries:
