Safety Information
A battery stores a large quantity of energy. A short
circuit will release this energy rapidly causing the wire to
melt, and perhaps, catch on fire. Also, the battery could
explode. The fuse located near the battery terminal in the
RIGrunner may help prevent these types of catastrophes.
Batteries
The use of only SAFETY batteries is recommended, such
as gelled-electrolyte and absorbed-glass mat (AGM)
types. These batteries are sealed and should not vent
hydrogen under normal circumstances. These types may
be mounted in any position, although vertical is preferred.
They are also 100% maintenance free.
Use of other types of batteries for portable use in the Battery
Buddy is NOT recommended. Automobile batteries and
marine batteries may only be used if the installation is
fixed; where the battery box will not be turned over and is
located outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
Battery Buddy will fit U1 size batteries.
An example of a U1 battery which will fit inside the Battery
Buddy DC-to-GO box is the East Penn-Deka Dominator
8GU1HM.
