CAUTIONS
Ensure the correct Battery Type is selected before the first use
or any
battery replacement.
Do not charge using an incorrect Battery Type setting. (EG: do not charge a Gel battery with Calcium
battery selection setting or vice-versa as this may damage your battery)
If you are in doubt as to what battery type you have, refer to the battery Supplier or Manufacturer. Do not
guess or assume as this may damage your battery.
Incorrect Battery Type selection may result in you battery being under charged or over charged and any
damage will not be covered by warranty.
Check the Battery M
anufacture’s specific precautions. EG: such as removing or not removing cell caps
whilst charging.
As a general precaution, someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your
aid while working with any battery.
Wear protective goggles and turn your face away when connecting or disconnecting a battery.
If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your eye,
immediately flush the eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical attention.
To reduce risk of damaging the battery, avoid dropping any metal tools onto the battery. Wrap spanners
with electrical insulation tape to minimise the risk of a short circuit.
Never rest the battery being charged on top of your Ozcharge battery charger or place the charger on top
of the battery.
The battery charger should be installed and kept as far away from the battery as the output cables permit.
