MUST disconnect the battery immediately! Never remove power from

from the charger to your battery, double check to be safe.
To avoid short circuiting a battery you must always connect the charge
leads to the charger first, and only then to the battery. Always unplug
the battery from the charge leads when disconnecting the pack, never
remove the leads from the charger when a battery is connected to
them.
