5 Batteries and Recharging 

 

 

BATTERIES 

 

Small, sealed lead batteries are used in the battery pack. There is no risk of fluid leaking and 
no maintenance (replacing water etc.) is required other than charging. 
 
When handling batteries, please observe the following precautions. 
 

Charge Batteries After Every Use 

 
Batteries should be recharged immediately after use with the special battery charger 
provided.  Putting the Super-Trac away without recharging the batteries may cause problems 
when it is next used if the batteries are weak or dead. Further, if the batteries are left without 
being charged for a long time, they may stop working altogether. 

 
 

BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS 

 

• 

Do not recharge batteries inside a sealed structure. 

• 

Do not place batteries near fires. 

• 

Do not dismantle or reassemble batteries. 

 

Do not short-circuit batteries with tools or metal items.

 

• 

Batteries should only be recharged with the special battery charger 
provided. 

• 

Check batteries and replace if you notice any damage such as cracks or 
deformities or any leaking fluid. 

• 

Check batteries and clean with a cloth moistened with water.  Do not wipe 
with oil or an organic solvent such as petrol or thinner. 

• 

If batteries rupture and electrolyte gets on your skin or clothing, rinse 
immediately with plenty of water.  If any electrolyte gets in your eyes, wash 
with clean water and see a doctor immediately. 

 
 

Recommendations for Long Battery Life 
 

The Super-Trac uses sealed batteries. The batteries will not work if you remove the battery 
covers. 
 
If the batteries are allowed to run too low, you may not be able to use them again. 
 
When the Super-Trac is not used for a long period of time, the batteries should be fully 
charged and then removed, kept in a dry place with low humidity and recharge once a month. 
 
As batteries deteriorate when stored, they may not work as well as they did before they were 
put away.
