Be sure that any AC adaptors or extension cords provide all three connections (power, return 
and ground), and are of suitable rating for the charger product. 

DC Output Connection 

 

DC connections must be made before starting the charge cycle. 

 

Never use a cable that is worn, frayed, nicked or damaged or is in any other condition than will 
make a reliable connection to the battery. 

 

An intermittent cable connection will interfere with the proper operation of the charger. 

 

Do not disconnect the charger from the battery while the charge cycle is in operation. 

 

Be careful not to short the terminals of a battery together when connecting or disconnecting 
the DC connection. 

 

Make sure that the cable’s terminals are free of any corrosion.

 

Charger 

 

Never operate a charger that has been damaged in any way including impact, shock, or 
excessive exposure to moisture, plague, pestilence or locusts. 

 

Do not disassemble the charger.  No user serviceable parts inside.  Return the product to 
Teledyne Battery Products for service: call or email for return instructions. 

Personal Precautions 

 

Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery electrolyte contacts skin, clothing 
or eyes.  Wear complete eye and skin protection when connecting, disconnecting, handling and 
charging batteries.  In the event of an accident, immediately flood the affected area with water 
and get medical attention.  

 

Someone should be within the range of your voice, aware of your activity, and be able to come 
to your aid when you are working with or near a battery. 

 

Never smoke, or allow a spark or flame, in the vicinity of a battery or engine. 

 

Remove jewelry 

 

Wear eye protection
