General Safety Instructions 

 

WARNING: Prior to using the UCH0053/UCH0054, please read the safety and caution instructions 

located in this section to prevent the mischarge or catastrophic destruction of a battery. 

 

 

 

While inherently safe, misuse of the UCH0053/UCH0054 may result in damage to the battery and/or the 

UCH0053/UCH0054 battery charger. Specifically: 

 

Before using the UCH0053/UCH0054 battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on 

(1) the battery charger, (2) battery, (3) product using the battery. 

 

To reduce the risk of injury, charge only batteries this charger is designed to charge as listed in the 

Operation section of this manual. Attempting to charge other types of batteries may cause personal 

injury and/or equipment damage. 

 

Do not operate the UCH0053/UCH0054  if it has been damaged in any way; return  it  to Ultralife 

Corporation for servicing and/or repair. 

 

Do not expose the unit to wet conditions (rain or snow) with the lid open. 

 

Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Ultralife Corporation may result in risk of fire, 

damage to the charger, electric shock, or personal injury. 

 

Always connect the charger to a power source with proper earth grounding. 

 

To reduce the risk of damage to the electrical cord and plug, always disconnect the cord by pulling the 

plug rather than the cord. 

 

Make sure cord(s) is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to 

damage or stress. 

 

An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord 

could result in risk of fire and electric shock. 

 

Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug—replace the cord immediately. 

 

Before obtaining access to input power terminals, all supply circuits must be disconnected from the 

charger. 

 

Do not disassemble the UCH0053/UCH0054 chargers; return it to Ultralife Corporation when service or 

repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. 

 

To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from its power source before attempting any 

maintenance or cleaning.  

 

If there are any questions regarding maintenance or safety-of-use issues pertaining to the 

UCH0053/UCH0054, please contact our service department at:
