MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE

A minimal amount of care can keep your battery
charger working properly for years.
• Clean the clamps each time you are finished

charging. Wipe off any battery fluid that may
have come in contact with the clamps to
prevent corrosion.

• Occasionally cleaning the case of the charger

with a soft cloth will keep the finish shiny and
help prevent corrosion.

• Coil the input and output cords neatly when

storing the charger. This will help prevent
accidental damage to the cords and charger.

• Store the charger unplugged from the AC

power outlet in an upright position.

• Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not store

the clamps clipped together, on or around
metal, or clipped to the cables.
