Caution!
Charger operation, connections and proper electrolyte level should be checked routinely.
Proper electrolyte levels for Flooded (Wet), non-maintenance free sealed batteries:
Note: Use distilled/purified water only. Unfiltered tap water contains minerals that may cause build up on
lead plates of
battery
.
Confirm correct electrolyte level per your battery’s manufacturer instructions. Check electrolyte level
routinely to avoid exposing lead plates to air; this may cause irreparable damage due to oxidation to the lead
plates reducing the battery’s capacity. Do not fill to correct level prior to charging; this may cause overflow
during charging. It is best to fill
battery
several hours after charge cycle when the battery has cooled down. If
top of plates are exposed before charging, only add enough water to cover the top of the plates; top off level
after charge cycle and batteries have cooled down. Electrolyte gassing (bubbling) towards the end of charge
cycle is beneficial for the health of the battery. It keeps the electrolyte from stratifying and condensing in the
lower portion of the battery causing uneven charging of the plates. Prolonged gassing will lower electrolyte
level.
Care of operation:
-
Battery charger must only be used for the purpose specified by the manufacturer.
-
Wear proper eye and clothing protection at all times
-
Someone should be within range of your voice when working with a battery & charger
-
Do not operate the battery charger if housing or cables are damaged.
-
Lay cables in such a way they are not in risk of damage or tripping.
-
Position charger on secure surface to avoid falling over, keep out of reach of children.
-
Do Not smoke or exposed to spark or flame while charging
-
Do not drop metal tools or personal items across battery terminals causing shorts or sparking
-
A qualified person familiar with the risks involved must perform service or repair
Caution!
If you have any questions about proper charger application, contact Schauer
