1.1.6
Explosion Hazard
Warning
Batteries can burst if treated improperly. Follow
these precautions at all times
:
Do
Clean battery contacts before servicing. To clean battery
contacts, use a lint-free cotton swab dipped in 100%
isopropyl alcohol.
Press the battery firmly into the adapter.
Observe battery temperature, which is displayed on the
C8000 Status screen. Internal battery temperature must be
between 5°C (41°F) and 50°C (122°F) during testing. Stop
service if the battery's internal temperature exceeds 50°C.
Allow cold batteries to warm up and hot batteries to cool
before charging. The temperatures cited here are the
battery temperatures,
not the ambient temperatures
. Fast
charging outside this temperature range may damage or
reduce the life of the battery.
Do Not
Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable and primary
batteries such as alkaline, carbon-zinc, or non-rechargeable
lithium batteries.
Do not short the positive and negative battery terminals
together at any time.
Do not connect leads from one channel to another. Failing
to follow the guidelines in this manual could result in
venting with flame, explosion, fire and personal injury. An
electrical short to any point outside the channel bypasses
the current regulation loop and may blow a fuse or cause
permanent component damage.
