2.9-1 Battery Service Procedures
Explosion Hazard
Keep flames and sparks away.
Do not smoke near batteries.
Battery Acid Is Extremely Corrosive
Wear proper eye and facial protection as well as
appropriate protective clothing.

Turn emergency main power disconnect switch
to “OFF” position.
2.
Check battery case for damage.
3.
Check battery fluid level in each battery. If plates
are not covered by at least 1/2” (13mm) of
solution, add distilled or demineralized water.
4.
Clean battery terminals and cable ends thoroughly
with a terminal cleaning tool or wire brush.
5.
Make sure all battery connections are tight.

2.9-2 Battery Charging Operation
Figure 2-20. Battery Charger
Operation of Charger
Danger
Risk of electric shock
.
Do not immerse the charger
in water. Though the charger is highly resistant to
water, it is not designed for immersion and an
electric shock can occur.
1. Provide adequate ventilation for the batteries and
charger. The convection cooled design requires
access to cooling air for proper operation. Do not
allow blankets or other materials to cover the
charger. Although the charger protects itself against
overheating, the charger cooling fins should be
cleaned if clogged with debris for best performance.
There could be a spark during charging. Be careful
when using fuels, solvents or other flammables near
the charger or batteries.
2. Connect the power supply cord to a properly
grounded 100V/50 or 60Hz, 115V/ 60Hz, or 230V/
50 or 60Hz socket. This charger automatically
senses and adjusts to the AC input voltage range.
