B. BATTERY CHARGER
A battery charger produces a direct current (DC).When applied to a
discharged battery, this reverses the chemical reaction that led to its discharge.
1. Charge Rate. How fast a battery will charge depends on:
• Its electrical capacity; state of charge; electrolyte temperature and
internal condition.
• The DC output of the charger. (The charge rate will vary if the alternating
current (AC) supply is higher or lower than 110 volts).
2. Caution — To Avoid Damage to the Charger:
•
Never
place the charger on top of a battery during charging. (Gases from
the battery can damage the charger and may lead to an explosion or fire).
•
Never
place a battery on top of the charger.
•
Never
expose charger to rain or snow.
•
Never
unplug charger by pulling on the electrical cord.This will damage
the cord.
• Never open a charger or attempt to repair it yourself. Return charger to
Sunrise or have repairs made
only
by a qualified person.
• Keep cord out of the way, where it will not be stepped on, tripped over,
or damaged.
3. Caution — To Avoid Damage to the Battery:
• Make sure you use the correct setting (located on the charger) for “wet”
or “gel” type batteries.
•
Never
charge a frozen battery.A fully charged battery will rarely freeze,
but the fluid in a discharged battery can freeze at 16 degrees Fahrenheit
(minus 9 degrees Centigrade). If you suspect a battery is frozen, thaw it
before charging.
Lead acid batteries generate explosive gas while charging. Completely read and follow
all warnings about the batteries in this user instruction manual and any labels applied
to the product. Failure to do so could result in fire, explosion, injury and/or death.
