WARNING:
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: DO NOT PLUG IN CHARGER UNTIL DIRECTED TO DO SO.
Sometimes conditions such as a cold battery, a sulfated battery, or a deeply discharged lead calcium
battery may cause Charge Meter to read near a full charge when charging process is only beginning.
Note:
The Charge Meter shows the amount of current being drawn from the charger. It does not show what the
charger is capable of delivering. When the battery is fully charged and registering 100% on the Charge Meter,
a small charge will continue to move from the charger to the battery. If the charger is not disconnected from the
battery, eventually heat build up will cause the battery acid to boil and overcharge the battery causing damage to
the battery. Monitor battery charging progress constantly and if battery gets warm, stop charging it immediately.
