During charging the battery should be placed in a
well vented
place.
The
IMPULSE S
contains parts such as switches and relays that may produce sparks.
If charging takes place in a garage or a similar place then the charger should be placed in
such a position that sparking causes no risk.
Never
use the charger in a demounted (open) condition. This may be life threatening if
any parts under voltage are touched!
Note: It is
never
allowed to attempt to charge batteries that cannot be charged.
Never
touch the battery clamps if the charger is in operation.
Never
move the charger if it is in operation.
Do
not
use the charger in combination with a faulty cable or plug or if the charger itself is
damaged.
If the mains lead needs replacing this must be done by the service department of your
supplier/dealer.
If the charger does not operate properly then you should first note which failure indication
you observe, next you should remove the plug from the socket and subsequently contact
the service department of your supplier/dealer.
Never
attempt to demount or repair the charger yourself. In order to make sure that the
repair is reliable and safe we advise you strongly to have any repairs executed by the
service department of your supplier/dealer.

4. BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS
Just
after some charge cycles
and usage will new battery reach
full capacity
.
The battery may be charged after being used, regardless the depth of discharge.
Charging
overnight
is possible.
When only the green LED is lit, the batteries may be disconnected from the charger. Only
if
very necessary
, the charge cycle may be interrupted (disconnect the mains cable first and
disconnect the charge cable after that). In this case keep in mind, that the batteries are not
full. If the green LED lights and the battery is not disconnected, the battery is
kept in
optimal full state
.
If the battery is not frequently used, it is recommended to
charge it once a month at
least
(due to the self-discharge of the batteries). It is also possible to let the batteries
continuously connected to the charger.
Although the charger can charge deep discharged batteries, it is recommended
not to
discharge batteries very deep
, because this shortens battery life. However, if this
happens, it is recommended to charge the batteries as soon as possible in order to reduce
battery damage.
