3.  Charge the battery in a dry, well ventilated area.  This is why it is important that you leave 

the trunk or door open.  You can also remove the battery from the robot. 

4.  Do not position your face over the battery, at any time while making connections. 
5.  Do not smoke, strike a match, or cause a spark in the vicinity of the battery during charging. 
6.  Always unplug the AC supply cord before connecting or disconnecting the charger leads 

from the battery or arcing may result. 

7.  Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery.   
8.  Do not expose the charger to rain. 
9.  Replace defective cords and wires immediately. 
10.  Do not operate this charger with a two bladed adapter plug or extension cord.  Doing so 

can result in serious personal injury.  

11.  To reduce the risk of shock, connect only to a properly grounded outlet. 
12. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when 

working near a lead acid battery.   

 
 

If the Battery is not taking a Charge

 

 
Make sure that the charger is working by connecting it to a battery that is known to be good. 
 
Leave the charger on for a few days and see if the battery starts taking a charge.  Turn the robot 
on and try to operate it.  Connect to the charger again. If it still will not take a charge, it’s time to 
replace the battery.
