BATTERY SAFETY & CARE INFORMATION:
Always wear protective eye shields and clothing when working with batteries. Batteries contain acids
which can cause bodily harm. Do not put wrenches or other metal objects across the battery terminal or
battery top. Arcing or explosion of the battery can result. Do not wear jewelry when working around
batteries. Arcing can cause severe burns.
The tops of the batteries and battery hold downs must be kept clean and dry at all times to prevent
excessive self discharge and flow of current between the battery post and frame.
With wet cell batteries, maintain the proper electrolyte level by adding water when necessary. Never
allow the electrolyte level to fall below the top of the battery plates. Electrolyte levels fall during
discharge and rise during charging. Therefore, to prevent the overflow of electrolyte when charging, add
water only after the batteries have been fully charged, or just enough to cover the plates if discharged.
Old batteries require more frequent additions of water than do new batteries.
Do not over discharge batteries. Excessive discharge can cause polarity reversal of individual cells
resulting in complete battery failure. Re-charge batteries as soon as possible after a deep discharge, but
not if they are warm, allow a cooling down period.
Provide adequate ventilation when charging batteries. Chargers can ignite flammable materials and
vapors. Do not use near fuels, grain, dust, solvents, or other flammables.
Do not charge batteries in excessively hot temperatures; wait till the cool of the evening.
PRE CHARGE INFORMATION:
Before connecting the charger to the batteries, make sure the battery pack is of the same voltage rating
of the charger. If you are unsure, count the number of cells on the battery pack and multiply by two.
This figure should be the same as the DC voltage rating of the charger. (
see ratings label on charger )
Make sure the AC cord, DC output leads, terminals, connectors, or clamps are all in good working
condition. Do not use the charger if there are any signs of stress or damage, or if wires are cut or have
damaged insulation. Using this charger with any of these symptoms could result in a fire, property
damage, or personal injury. Have a qualified service person make the necessary repairs. Repairs should
not be made by people who are not qualified.
Illustration of series and parallel battery connections.
Parallel Series
When batteries are connected in
Parallel the battery amp hour
capacity is additive and the
voltage remains the same.
Example: two 180 amp hour
12 volt batteries would equal
12 volts and 360 amp hour
capacity
When batteries are connected in
Series the voltage is additive
and the battery amp hour
capacity remains the same.
Example: two 180 amp hour
12 volt batteries would equal
24 volts and 180 amp hour
capacity
