5 Connecting A Battery
For all methods of use of the battery charger the battery to be tested or charged must only be
connected when the charger is either:
Not powered up,
or
Powered up and not executing a charge or capacity test function. Doing so would damage the
equipment, and possible draw an electrical arc that, may cause an explosion from the venting
gases being emitted from the battery.
Care must also be executed in ensuring that the bared ends of the battery leads do not come
in contact with the metalwork of the charger as this may also cause electrical arcing and or
explosion risk.
THE BATTERY SHOULD NEVER BE CONNECTED OR DISCONNECTED FROM THE UNIT
WHEN A CHARGE OR TEST IS IN PROGRESS AS ARCING CAN OCCUR CAUSING AN
EXPLOSION FROM GASSES VENTING FROM BATTERIES BEING PROCESSED
THE BATTERY SHOULD ALWAYS BE ISOLATED FROM ANY EQUIPMENT BEFORE
BEING CONNECTED
Stray ground loops between the attached equipment and the Battery Charger Analyser could
cause catastrophic damage to the unit and the attached equipment.
Provided with the unit is one set of leads terminated with 8mm Ring Crimp Connectors. The
8mm ring crimps should be fitted with suitable battery connectors to suit the battery being
charged.
Always connect the battery leads as shown in the following figure to the unit before
attempting to connect the battery to be charged/tested. Once the charger leads are connected
to the unit then the battery can be connected.
