BATTERY STORAGE
INSTRUCTIONS
Fully charge batteries before placing
in storage. As these batteries will self
discharge, we recommend that they be
recharged after 3 months of storage.
Batteries removed from storage should
be recharged prior to placing back in
service.
When not in use, store the charger in-
doors in a cool dry place.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING OF
CHARGER
Very little maintenance is required oth-
er than protecting the charger from
damage and weather.
1. Coil cord when not in use.
2. Clean case and cords with a slightly
damp cloth.
3. Examine cords for damage period-
ically and replace if necessary with
manufacturer approved parts.
BATTERY TIPS & PRECAUTIONS
1. Keep the battery charged! The most
frequent cause of battery failure is
not recharging after each use.
2. Extreme temperatures kill batteries.
Avoid storage in exceedingly warm,
or cold areas. Recommended oper-
ating temperatures are between 5
and 35 degrees C (maximum - 15 to
50 degrees C). The energy available
on a given discharge cycle decreas-
es at low temperatures and increas-
es at higher than normal tempera-
tures. Increased temperatures
increase the gradual processes of
very slow corrosion which normally
occur in all lead-acid batteries.
3. Avoid heavy vibrations or shocks,
which may cause internal damage.
Foam packing is cheap insurance.
4. Avoid contact with oils or solvents
which may attack the battery case
(ABS plastic resin). Clean with soap
and water only.
5. Do not crush, incinerate or disman-
tle the battery. The electrolyte con-
tains sulfuric acid which can cause
serious damage to eyes and skin.
Dispose of old batteries at a battery
recycler.
6. Do not leave battery on charger for
extended periods of time when bat-
tery reaches a full charge.
