instructions
WARNING
:
Working in the vicinity of lead-acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases
during normal battery operation. It is therefore of the utmost importance that each time you
are preparing to use the BatteryMate you first read & follow exactly the instructions provided.
To reduce the risk of explosion, follow these instructions & those marked on the battery.
Never smoke or allow an open spark or flame near the battery or the vehicle's engine.
Charge only 12 Volt lead-acid batteries. Do not use to supply power to an extra low-voltage
electrical system nor to charge dry-cell batteries. Charging dry-cell batteries may cause them
to b urst resulting in injury to persons & damage to property. Never charge a frozen battery.
PREPARING TO CHARGE
WARNING
:
When charging watercraft batteries, always remove battery onto shore for charging. If
it is
necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove GROUNDED terminal
from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while being charged. Forcefully blow away
any fumes that have or may accumulate. Clean battery terminals. Study all battery
manufacturers specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while
charging and recommended rates of charge. Add distilled water in each cell until battery
acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. Do not overfill. For a battery without
cell caps, carefully follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions. Determine the nominal
voltage of the battery by
referring to information printed on the battery, or by examining
owner’s manual of vehicle/equipment in which battery is or is to be installed.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to charge a battery of which the nominal voltage differs
from the battery voltage for which the charger is intended; see data on label attached
to charger.
CHARGER LOCATION
:
Position the battery charger on a sturdy, flat surface. DO NOT place charger directly above
or below battery being charged. The gases from the battery are corrosive and will damage
the charger. DO NOT allow battery acid to drip onto charger during filling or checking
gravity. Acid contamination will destroy charger or cause it to operate incorrectly. DO NOT
place battery or any object on top of charger. Place the battery as far away from the charger
as the cord permits during charging. DO NOT place charger in a small, fully enclosed space.
Ensure adequate ventilation. DO NOT expose charger to water, rain or snow.
CONNECTING TO BATTERY AND AC MAINS POWER
:
Connect the battery charger to the battery before connecting to AC mains power socket.
First connect to UNGROUNDED post of the battery, then GROUNDED post. The BLACK
clip on the battery charger output lead must be connected to NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post
and the RED clip to POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post of the battery. When connecting the fina l
clip, position yourself as far away from the battery as practically possible - then connect to
post while facing away from the battery.
