Precautions When Preparing to Charge

Freedom SW-RVC Installation Guide
NOTES
:
1. Mount and place the Freedom SW-RVC Inverter/Charger unit
away from batteries in a well ventilated compartment.
2. Always have someone within range of your voice or close
enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid
battery.
3. Always have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case
battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
4. Keep battery terminals clean from corrosion. If battery acid or
corrosion deposit contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately
with soap and water. If battery acid or corrosion deposit enters
your eye, immediately flood it with running cold water for at
least twenty minutes and have someone within range of your
voice or close enough to get medical attention immediately.
5. Use extra caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on
the battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other
electrical parts and could cause an explosion. Use tools with
insulated handles only.
6. Batteries can produce a short circuit current high enough to
weld a ring or metal bracelet or the like to the battery terminal,
causing a severe burn.
7. When removing a battery, always remove the negative
terminal from the battery first for systems with grounded
negative. If it is grounded positive, remove the positive terminal
first. Make sure all loads connected to the battery and all
accessories are off so you don’t cause an arc.
Precautions When Preparing to
Charge
WARNING
EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS AND GASES HAZARD
• Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
• Make sure the voltage of the batteries matches the output voltage of the
inverter/charger.
• Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes and skin
when cleaning battery terminals.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious
injury
.
NOTES
:
n
Study and follow all of the battery manufacturer's specific
precautions, such as removing or not removing cell caps while
charging, whether equalization is acceptable for your battery,
and recommended rates of charge.
n
For flooded non-sealed batteries, add distilled water in each
cell until battery acid reaches the level specified by the battery
manufacturer. This helps to purge excessive gas from cells. Do
not overfill. For a battery without removable cell caps, carefully
follow manufacturer's instructions.
