Carefully read all operating instructions before
using the DXC-2018CA.
Wear eye protection when working around batteries.
The DXC-2018CA is equipped with a 9ft power cord.
Never use an extension cord that is more
than 50ft and it must not be smaller than 12
gauge. Make sure the extension cord and
receptacle are properly grounded.
Be sure each charge is completed before
removing clamps to prevent arcing and
potential explosion from battery gases. Never
remove load clamps while charging.
Keep sparks flames or cigarettes away from batteries.
Provide adequate ventilation to remove car exhaust.
In extremely cold temperatures, check for frozen electrolytic fluid before
applying charge. Do not attempt to Charge a battery under 20
O
F. Allow the battery to warm to room temperature before
testing or charging.
Never connect clamps to more than one 6 volt, 8 volt or 12 volt battery
at a time. Connection to 24 volts will dangerously overload the circuitry.
Do not charge multiple batteries or 24 volt systems using the DXC-2018CA.
Warning!
Never attach the DXC-2018CA to a battery that is connected to
any other tester or charging unit. Damage may result.
Incorrect Application:
Wrong size battery may have inadequate cold
cranking Amp rating for original vehicle specifications.
Incorrect Installation:
Loose battery hold-downs cause excessive
vibration, which can result in damage to the plates.
Improper Maintenance:
Low electrolytic fluid and corrosion on battery
connections, can greatly reduce battery life and affect battery performance.
Age of Battery:
If the date code on the battery indicates it is fairly old, the
failure may be due to natural causes.
Overcharging:
Overcharging caused by a high voltage regulator setting or
incorrect battery charging can cause excessive gassing, heat and water loss.
Undercharging:
Undercharging caused by a faulty charging system or low voltage
regulator setting can cause lead sulfate to gradually build up and crystallize on the
plates greatly reducing the battery’s capacity and ability to be recharge.
